Moanin' - Rhoda Scott 1972

Reinventing the meaning of the word walking bass line

Could go on and listen and watch this all night...but what's with (incidental question) the Hammond cabinet? Looks like a B from the front but looks like a C from the Right shoulder..? I've always been a fan of Leslie-slow and fast but this makes me wanna unplug my slow motors and just play fast and off. She's really good. Really good. Great post.

It's a C without the cover (or a CV) and she cut the front panel so that you can see her feet. I also noticed that she has the leslie switch on the side. But it's so amazing how she can do this with one instrument. I've attempted but I guess I'm not made for doing such things.

You are right, since I looked at it again. After all, I think her nickname IS "happy feet." Funny she's been around for that long and I just recently heard of her. And that leslie switch....never seen one located there either. Odd, isn't it. I watched Jimmy Smith's vid and I enjoyed her's more. Thanks for the info.

pretty woman.
That it Swing??ß

Rhoda is so funky. There is so much great organ duo or trio stuff out there. Rhoda really has this style nailed. Check out that DIY Leslie switch.

She moans awfully fast, going against both atmosphere and text of the song.

There is no text; it is an instrumental. Also, it isn't a song; there is no singing.
