Can you handle this much organ? We are used to guitarists like Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, or Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes mixing it up, but Rhoda Scott and Barbara Dennerlein prove that instrumental music isn't just a man's world.
This impromptu performance took place in Switzerland in 2002 at the Bern Jazz Festival, bringing together two legends of the Hammond B3 Organ - the 5 time Downbeat Critics Poll Winner Barbara Dennerlein and the great Soul Jazz artist Rhoda Scott, a.k.a. "Barefoot Lady" - called a very great virtuoso by Arthur Rubinstein.
For Dennerlein fans this is a bit unusual, because Barbara isn't playing pedal bass. This number "Nova" was composed by Rhoda, an accomplished pedal bass player herself, so she provides the bass lines.
Not only are they smoking hot soloists, but check out the great interplay, harmonics, and accompaniment.
Dios Santo ! es una bendición poder ver y escuchar a Barbara Dennerlein .

If fascinating listening to two very different styles. Dennerleins classical background seems to come through in scale choices and phrasing , alternatively Scott has a more groved , bluessey style.
Both are virtuosic.

@JClore1950 Scott is playing pedals. There's a brief shot of her feet tap dancing away! :)

@JClore1950 Rhoda Scott is working the bass pedals on this one, but the sound that either one these two ladies can get is very close to an upright bass.It looks like Barbara Dennerlein has her foot moving in a spot or two as well.
