In Reply to: - Hammond B3 - who is the champ? posted by FezCo on April 19, 2007 at 17:04:08:
That's quite a list of players but one I know of that's missing is:Tony Monaco: Google him and you'll find a smokin' iPod video of him cookin' some grease.
I got to see Joey DeFrancesco and Jimmy Smith (the godfather of the Hammond, IMHO) at a local club. It was a great show billed as a B3 Deathmatch.
Sadly, Jimmy did, indeed, pass on not too long ago.
BTW, I played in bands sporting Hammond organs. They were a bear to move and lift, though. That said, there's nothing like a full Hammond B3 with 2 Leslies spinning up behind you as you wail away. Cool!
Cheers,

Got to include Wild Bill Davis on the list. In the same league as Jimmy Smith IMO.
