    Yea, well, I thought MMW was the best place to go for a Hammond B-3 fix. I was wrong, there are others...

    Akiko Tsuruga is a fucking sicko. I ordered her new CD last week, Sakura. Anyone who digs MMW, Jazz, or non top 40 music will probably find something by this Lady that you will be able to groove on.

    Enjoy:

    Damn she's really good. And since we're talking ladies on the hammond b-3 I feel compelled to post some Grace Potter. Extremely talented and sexy as hell

    good stuff Jester - love the Hammond B3 sound - Joey Defrancesco is probably the most well know modern player but a good friend of mine used to play the Jimmy Smith tune Back at the Chicken Shack all the time. Just had it on the other day in fact.

    Forgot to link this last night. If you are interested, here is the link to buy the album.

    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/akikotsuruga2

    If you don't want to buy the whole album but want to grab a song. Your first choice should be "Smile." It is a really solid track that is equally bubbly (classic Hammond sound), as well as introspective. There are a lot of different things in life, or music, that can cause a random smile. Akiko deftly gives the listener more than one reason to nod to the groove and find themselves Smiling to the vibe.

    sorry for the bump (not really) - just poking around the youtubes and found this gem. Illinois Jacquet came to my HS in 1976 and sat beside me in stage band. Such an underated player.

    Just a small diner, in the Davenport area really, somehow it got passed by.
    Except when you remembered those eggs, man those were some eggs.
    Coffee ran like the hose on cricket nylons in a silent aisle. Covered in a little dust, and that shitty faint black shelving, what a gig those libraries man. You could walk the stacks and never open a sleeve to see the magic that came from a local really.
    You know, he took the Spadina bus? He did once, before it was called that.
    It was really a chariot, that just went up and down this lame street in some part of the world.
    Around the corner from this hash that Honest Ed’s hags would fling, as they listened to the lame jockey’s that knew little.
    Yeah.
    Fuck, the bourbon can pour long.
    If only memories justified tomorrow with the same duration. Then, maybe.
    This would be more than a single bell, for whom the second tolls.
    *a tip of the hat*
    To the Indigo Midnight Rider.
    (5:51 Towpsalms – and there was a clap, so silent, some herd in a passing moment, thinking, yeah brotherman, you fire that 6th bullet at St. Paul, dude is just a missionary man, he is bluffing…)

    Does Not Compute. She's def good, but comparing her to Johnny is a stretch

    Fun starts at 3:45


    I actually don't really love them with Scofield, but this is pretty tasty. Try to ignore the audience somehow sitting down


    And just for shits & giggles, lets round it out with just M&M and a vid shot by yours truly

    You have not heard her live when she improv's.

    She doesn't have years of videos on youtube like MMW. As well, it is clearly a different style. Comparisons are used to let people understand where the reviewer is coming from when introducing a talent.

    Without seeing her in a live set for 2+ hours you cannot really say how good, or not good she might be as an artist.

    </2 cents>

    tells yeah how much talent one has to have to jam like that.

    born with heart.

    what it jams' - well that all depends on how you take your spirits.

    on the rocks, straight up - mixed...ah, the choice.

    *big toast*

    very good point.
    genuine issue with RH in the old days, not sure "why".
    open eyes, open intent, and a real interest in anything of such.

    yeah, they def got some, this one was added as a song to my "death party."

    fuck funerals, party before, big.
    period.

    These music threads are always my fav.

    I don't normally listen to jazz type music but I will admit that it's very soothing. Goes right to your soul just like reggae.

    I watched a kick ass documentary about the displacement of musicians in New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina. I don't remember what it was called but it was really interesting.
