Bucket! Jimmy Smith Hammond B-3 cover - Nord C1 (Clavia) Organ

Here is my cover version of Jimmy Smith's 'Bucket'. I've tried to stay close to the original recording.
The organ is a Clavia Nord C1 - a Hammond B-3 clonewheel combo organ.

Are you using foot pedals?

Hi nathanshubert

No, I'm not using foot pedals.

you`re a good Organist. But for jazz you have to feel the Music and you can cover the notes, but not the song.

Thanks fabian!

Jimmy Smith was The Master and creator of modern jazz organ.

I'm on a slow leisure jazz organ learning journey as I have written in my channel.

I recorded my 'Bucket' cover more than 3 years ago. Maybe I have improved a little, little bit since then, who knows.

If you are interested in a comparison of what my practicing migh or might not have achieved, please, check out e.g. my 'Common Swift Blues' recorded 3 months ago, and let me hear what you think.

Keep swinging,

Do you know what is going to follow the nord for the new year,and is it better than the hammond?

[rounder2u]

Hi shecky

I don't know if Clavia is developing a successor to their current Hammond B-3 clonewheel, the Nord C2.

Both the Nord C2 and the Hammond XK series are great organs. I would prefer the Nord C2 over the XK.

The very best you can get, though, is the real deal: an old analog Hammond B-3/C-3 and a Leslie 122 speaker cabinet.

Hi shecky

I see, that kind of sustain. Thanks for replying. I understand you believe I cut them a bit short.
