She alternately strolls and sprints through more vividly contrasting episodes than many jazz organists traverse in a lifetime... Her solos avoid patent "Smithian" effects: Instead, she thinks like a horn player, preferring coherent long lines to stuttering single-key repetitions or gimmicky sustained high notes. Then there's those feet. Simply put, Dennerlein has astonishing bass pedal chops. Not only does she step nimbly through rapid tempos, she even takes pedal solos -.....a foot bass extemporization that would do Stanley Clarke proud. And listen to Dennerlein's left hand: Unlike those organists whose proclamations of pedal-pushing virtuosity are less than candid, Dennerlein does not cheat by sneaking bass lines onto the organ's lower manual. At the speediest clip, she can simultaneously solo, comp, and walk that bass with remarkable precision." (Keyboard Magazine) Over the years she has recorded and performed with exceptional musical personalities such as Don Alias, Ray Anderson, Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Dennis Chambers, Thomas Chapin, Roy Hargrove, Howard Johnson, Frank Lacy, Joe Locke, David Murray, Tony Reedus, David Sanchez, Andy Sheppard, Mitch Watkins, Friedrich Gulda and Joe Zawinul among many others. Below are two great books for organists...one is a compilation of transcriptions of favorites from Barbara's many recordings! The other book and companion CD illustrate how you can still swing and jazz it up on a church organ-even on a big pipe organ! Hear Barbara's arrangement of the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" |

This is the amazing new video by one of the the greatest Hammond B-3 players ever:.. Brian Auger. 2001 Grammy Nominee Brian Auger began his career playing jazz in London in the early '60's just as the rock explosion began. He soon found himself in the middle of the British Invasion whirlwind, play with Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, John McGlaughlin, Rod Stewart, Long John Baldry, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Julie Driscoll. As a true pioneer of early Jazz-Fusion, Brian founded the Oblivion Express which is still creating innovations where jazz, blues, rock, and rhythm meet. He was nominated for a Grammy award in 2001 for his work with Bunny Brunel, Dennis Chambers, and Tony McAlpine. Primarily an instructional video, this DVD also includes several performance clips of Brian and The Oblivion Express, as well as some great personal insights and reflection on Brian's career. The video's host is Leo Bynum, a student, friend, and long-time fan of Brian's. As a keyboard player himself, Leo directed and produced this video with a student's eye. The content is geared to novice through advanced players with Brian walking you through entire tunes chord-by-chord as well as revealing the secrets to many of his most amazing monster licks. There are overhead cameras for keyboard close-ups on all segments. Discover new insight in chord theory, soloing, and comping from the jazz/rock keyboard master himself, Brian Auger. Watch Brian's wizardry from directly above the keyboard as he takes us note-by-note from the blues through jazz/rock fusion. This 2 hour video delivers insight and instruction to help you break into a new level of chording and soloing. Often called the Grand Master of the Hammond B-3, Brian gives a grand tour of the instrument, including his personal settings. This video combines footage of live performances with a one-on-one interview, explanation, demo of the material. From jazz and blues basics to two-five-one harmony and Brian's most noted tunes, this video delivers a guided tour of Brian's mastery and music. Tunes covered in this video:

The music of Jimmy Smith, Booker T. Jones, Gregg Allman, Billy Preston, Jon Lord, Sly Stone, and so many others ignites with the unmistakable purrs, growls, and screams of the Hammond B-3 organ. In fact, the B-3 has been grinding its way through gospel, R&B, rock, blues, and jazz since 1954-and even today, young artists continue to invent new ways of featuring it in their music. Now fully updated, The Hammond Organ: Beauty in the B traces the technological and artistic evolution of the B-3 and other tonewheel organs, as well as the whirling Leslie speakers that catapulted the Hammond sound into history. You'll discover the genius that went into the development of Hammond's tonewheel generator, drawbar harmonics, percussion, scanner vibrato, and other innovations, as well as the incredible assistance Don Leslie provided for Hammond by creating his famous rotating speaker system. Plus-B-3 legends including soul-jazzman Jimmy McGriff and progressive rocker Keith Emerson share their playing techniques; technical experts offer tips on buying, restoring, and maintaining Hammonds and Leslies; and over 200 photos illustrate historic Hammond organs, Leslie cabinets, and B-3 masters at work. This second edition includes:

The Hammond organ, especially the B-3 combined with the Leslie speaker, has long been an integral part of modern popular music.You can hear the "classic" sound of the Hammond organ in blues, gospel, jazz, rock, and even on some contemporary singer/songwriter songs (try to picture Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" or Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale" without that distinctive sound). Sometimes the organ is used as "padding," providing background textures using only its sustain capabilities, and at other times it takes a more prominent role as a lead instrument. We're proud to present the first lesson to teach the organ as a blues and rock instrument for learning players. David Cohen starts with the basics, detailing all the parts of the Hammond B-3 and showing how to get the unique sounds associated with this instrument using presets, drawbars, percussion tablets, vibrato switch, volume pedal and other devices. Then it's into the playing! David covers some of the! most important licks and grooves you'll need to get out and play in a band. His love of the instrument comes across as he teaches riffs, blues scales, chord changes, and many of the specific musical tricks that work only on organ. Each tune is illustrated by a top New York rock band to give you a feeling for how it should be performed. You'll learn to play a fast shuffle in C; a funk tune in E; a medium-tempo shuffle in A (with a Jimmy Smith riff); the all-important slow blues in G; and a funk rhythm with a G minor to C (I - IV) groove. In each of these pieces, you'll learn how to improvise solos, use licks and fills, play a variety of bass lines, and become an integral part of a rockin' blues band.
