I _totally_ agree with Scott here since it's exactly my 
ideal conception of a B-3 too and I love the 'stock'(?) 
sound of (well maintained) B-3 organs from the 50s and early 
60s.


otherwise -

maybe it's hard to impress 16-25 year old students with 
Jimmy Smith's fantastic Blue Note recordings, Joe Bucci's 
Wild About Basie!, John Buzons's Inferno!, Larry Young, 
Larry Goldings, Groove Holmes, Jack McDuff, Earl Grant, 
Jackie Davis, Rick Wakeman, Brian Auger, Jon Lord, Charles 
Earland, Tony Monaco, Joey DeFrancesco, Papa John, Dick 
Hyman or Lonnie Smith and all the numerous other cats... 
must stop here :-)

I have no clue but perhaps Bill's students never have heard 
of Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley and are usually more into MTV, 
VIVA, R'n B, Metal, Stoner Rock, Tech House, Downbeat, 
Electronica or even more 'evil' styles' but probably not 
jazz aficionados or even music connoisseurs.
