Lesson transcript:
So we're going to look at another Jack MacDuff tune, his version of quite a well-known tune called "Memphis in June."
We'll also have a look at the solo that Jack plays himself, which is very, very sweet and very effective.
And, yeah, here we go.
The intro has a very much standalone tone, which is quite interesting.
Joe Glossop is a keyboard player from Sheffield who has made his name on the Hammond organ. He currently holds the organ chair in Tom Jones's touring band, and has played with Van Morrison and James Hunter, as well as on piano and Rhodes. His courses get the real Hammond sound out of any keyboard - drawbar registration, the Leslie, the walking-bass left hand, and the comping and soloing vocabulary of the soul-jazz, blues and rock organ traditions, from Jimmy Smith to Booker T. read more
