On Stage Swinging Organ Masters Share
It’s as swinging a pair of sessions as you’ll ever hear, produced as they were broadcast LIVE in KUVO’s Phyllis A. Greer Performance Studio.
For some keyboardists, one row of keys isn’t enough. They need two! And foot pedals! These are organists, and their rich, full palette of sounds have driven jazz combos since before the days of Jimmy Smith.
At KUVO’s Phyllis A. Greer Performance Studio, we arranged to have a classic Hammond B-3 brought in with a Leslie speaker. The results were magical in the hands of the Joey DeFrancesco Trio from 2001, accompanied by Paul Bollenback on guitar and Byron Landham on drums.
