Agreed. As an aficionado of the B3, and having played one for a living for about eight years, I have yet to find a performance that even comes close to this display of virtuosity by Joey Francesco. Better than anyone ever could, he captured this extraordinary instrument in its many moods, from its distinctive solo voice to the open chords and full vibrato of a theater organ, played with blinding speed. Now he’s accompanying John Prine as they sip cocktails and smoke cigars in Heaven’s numerous and busy night clubs. (The teetotalers are all in the other place.)

@@rblossey The Hammond organ has no RAM or any other electronic components. It uses electrically powered tone wheels to generate a pure sine wave, which is then replicated through the octaves and the harmonic drawbars. A tube-based amplifier sends the sound to the organ’s internal speakers. Or in the case of the B3, which has no internal speakers, the signal is sent to an external Leslie speaker, whose moving components enable natural acoustic vibrato and chorale to overlay the Hammond’s sound. Both Hammond and Leslie companies are long gone. Though it is theoretically possible to build a new tone wheel organ from scratch, the cost would be prohibitive. Another reason not to do it: the Hammond/Leslie jazz sound was very much of its time: starting in the early 60s.
