[HAM] New B3 Demo

[Sonja Lynne]

That was great! This is obviously from this year's Musikmesse in Frankfurt.
One correction that should be pointed out from what he says in the video -
Jimmy McGriff was NOT a student of Jimmy Smith's. Somehow this rumor
started, but Jimmy McGriff will tell you emphatically that it is not the
case.

One thing is for sure, that the Hammond organ is much appreciated in Europe,
although the prominent musical genres where it is played are the home organ
hobbyist and pop arenas, where it is the Gospel churches that are the
primary users of Hammond organs today in US.

The "New B-3" sounded great too!

Here's another clip for those who are interested in taking a listening test.
Can you tell the difference between a vintage B-3 and the new Diversi Organ
by Voce? Both organs are being played through the same Leslie from behind a
curtain. Be sure to have a piece of paper handy for the test - the Diversi
Challenge! It must be viewed with Broadband. It's a big file, so please be
patient.
Also it's best heard through headphones or an excellent speaker system. It's
interesting when you can't see, the ears have to take over! Good luck! It's
not ez. Have fun!
