Members rinkydinkron Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 Can anyone suggest some rockin songs or instrumentals that feature the Hammond ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flattop Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 Is there a particular genre you are looking for? Any of the first 6 or 7 Deep Purple albums. The second/third Yes albums or Nursury Cryme/Foxtrot by Genesis for more ensemble wall of Hammond playing. First 5 ELP albums. Anything by the Nice. Brian Auger for that non-Leslie approach.

Members The Pro Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 Steve Winwood is doing some pretty cool stuff with a Hammond these days, including playing foot pedals for bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tucktronix Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 The Meters, Neville Bros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rvandenbroeck Posted May 14, 2007 Members Share Posted May 14, 2007 jimmy smith and jimmy mcgriff are easily the first two that come to mind for me. Meters are also good... maybe check out some Beastie Boys instrumental stuff too. Also a lot of jambands - Phish and String Cheese Incident probably have at least some instrumental tunes w/ Hammond organ. U can also check out Soulive, Galactic, or the Benevento/Russo Duo for more instrumental hammond stuff. Also check out Robert Walter (he has a band called Super Heavy Organ, plays in the Greyboy Allstars, and was on board for the last Steve Kimock Band tour - late 2005 - early 2006). I'm sure there are plenty i'm forgetting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonny_Q Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 For your criteria - definatly Booker T & The MG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nemo2000 Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 in the 60s and 70s music it's easier to say where an organ take was NOT played by a Hammond...i add to previous replies Bob Marley (!), Stevie Winwood (get the latest album, trio hammond-drums-bass, great!), Santana, even Beatles (with Billy Preston playing)...enjoy...

Members manoeuver Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 Squib Cakes. also, Booker T. that {censored} is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mate_stubb Posted May 15, 2007 Members Share Posted May 15, 2007 Squib Cakes. Heh, I think that violates the original poster's "nothing too difficult" rule! As do all the suggestions for ELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boomboomdrums Posted May 16, 2007 Members Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm not sure it it's a B3 and it's not exactly an instrumental, but how about "A Whiter Shade of Pale". I've always wanted to do that one live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ramkeys Posted May 16, 2007 Members Share Posted May 16, 2007 I agree with ALL above. I play Whiter Shade all the time and find it almost annoying... this will get a few disses... Uriah Heep. July Morning is a thrill to play, has dynamics most people never learn, and can stick in your head for months and months. Kansas and Styx have ROCK with chops to prove it. I know that the Jazz players have epic chops, but who wants to dance to bizarre scales at speeds the ear cannot discern??? I like rock......

Members nemo2000 Posted May 20, 2007 Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 I believe it was done on an M-100. Just to let Rinkydrinkron not get confused about the Hammond models: B3 and C3 are the same with different wood furniture. The M100 is the "portable" version of the C3/B3, with reduced manuals. But the sound is as great as the one of the highest models. Be sure of that, i've got one !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
