Wonderful playing. This guy rocks the theatre organ! This organ must have the equivalent of a sustain pedal on a piano. Several times during this piece, I saw his hands leave the keys to change registration or move to another manual, and the chord he had let go of continued to play. Great technical addition to the organ.

He played our 4/21 Wurlitzer here in Rochester about 6 weeks ago and did an awesome job. Great performer, great entertainer, damn nice guy too.

@aihoschema Ditto Mr Keys.

@62748152 Dixon still ranks in the top. Especially the early stuff. Nice, clean, simple playing, and with a nice bouncy, happy style. And he gave people what he wants. I dont think there has been, or ever will be, an organist whos been heard as much as Dixon has.

@aihoschema - can´t say anything else, that i totally agree!
A fabulous artist - playing one of the greatest instruments ever created - the theatre pipe organ.
This is an example of Americana at its finest.

This man is absolutely awesome! I find it so important to bring the world of theatre organ music to younger generations. Music in general would be declining into nothingness if it wasn't for people like Jelani (and others in differend fields of course). There is so much to re-learn from (almost) lost arts. I find it surprising how "authentic" (to my humble knowledge) Jelani sounds, and yet there is a vibe to his playing which doesn't make it sound dated at all. Fantastic!!!
