My association with Bernie goes back over 15 years when he helped me purchase my first digital Hammond (the XB3). Having this organ meant I was able to work in a lot more venues around the country as my original B3 weighed about the same as my old Kombi it travelled in! Over the years I have done workshops with the new gear and watched it evolve. The Hammond company has invested lots of time and money in the new models, answering market concerns and offering the variety that its competitors can’t match.
This recording was taken from a workshop in 2009, warts and all! No overdubs or ‘creative editing’ was applied, giving the listener the feeling that they are there. Basically a ‘jam’ with my old buddy Mike Jordan on drums. Mike and I have been playing together for about 20 years and he knows how to play with the B3 in a way that makes us sound like a large ensemble! I can pretty much take the music anywhere and Mike is already there!!
For this recording I used the new B3 Mk II portable through a 3300 Leslie, a truly inspiring combination that you can take anywhere!â€
