Check out how she pulls of ghost notes on the bass at 13:12 where they go back to the head.

She is well known for innovation on the bass pedal board of a B3. She has even used it to trigger acoustic bass MIDI sounds and other synth voices . I can hear the walking bass in that song ..sounds like a regular bass . Too bad it only shows her feet for a split second .

you ought to see her bake a cake!

She certainly stays busy! I’m always amazed how some B3 players have such independent feet - classical cathedral organists learn this, too. As a non keyboard player, I find the left/right hand independence to be astounding enough, when you throw two more limbs into the mix, I have a hard time imagining how they can divide their brains to handle it. Although he’s not up to her level of virtuosity, Steve Winwood is also quite good with pedals; he seldom uses a bass player in his concerts. Thank you for posting this video; I shall certainly track down some of her recorded material!

@@cedarwaxwing3509Check out Shirley Scott: the premier female jazz organist from late 50s to late 70s.

Check out Mike Reed organ youtube videos. He was a great B3 organist playing the way God intended with left foot bass pedals.

Let me know when you open the club. I'm there!

@roykowalski4125 And to think, back in my childhood days, as other brands of electronic organs had come into the "home organ" market, the "tone wheel" Hammond seemed to have fallen out of favor even though professionals everywhere were already using them back then. I got sent for music lessons. The instructor had a Hammond & for the whopping sum of $1000 in the late 1950s my parents bought a small Hammond "spinet" for me. Even though I got away from playing I'm glad we never left it go for junk. It's still there & even though it lacks some of the features, it's still got the heart of a B3. Someday maybe it will go for a restoration & find a new home with someone who doesn't quite need a B3.... Amazing to see how truly iconic it has become!

The B3 bass foot keyboard tone rules!

Holy Cow!! They were ALL there!!

@@douglasshaw1320 Hey Doug ...Yeah!...They were all there...Now that is what you called an Event...I'm not sure when I got obsessed with the B3 Organ, but it could of started with Jane Jarvis who played at Shea Stadium for the Mets in the 1960's/70's, or Eddie Layton who Played at NY Yankees or Rangers Home Games, or it could of started at Radio City Music Hall with The Great Big Pipe Organ before the Show started...All I know there is something about this instrument that I feel in my bones, and it makes you feel spiritual and happy...When I went to teen dances in the early 70's there was this local brother and sister band who had a B3 Organ player...Till to this day I gave them a lot of credit for dragging that thing up and down the stairs to the stage at these local events...I mean how much do they weigh about 650 to 700 lbs....To say that they were the best local band around at that time is to put it mildly ...Their Santana Covers were incredible...Why, because the B3 gave the band soul, and passion...As I got older it was off to the races listening to the One and Only Jimmy Smith, Wild Bill Dogget (Got to see Him), Big John Patton, Booker T, Jack McDuff, Charles Kynard, Charles Earland, Shirley Scott, Gene Ludwig, Jimmy McGriff (Saw him Too), Richard Groove Holmes,etc,etc...Also liked the Rock Organ Players, Steve Winwood, Lee Michaels, Gregg Allman, Jon Lord of Deep Purple, and always Keith Emerson, and Gary Brooker of Procol Harum...If you get a chance listen to these tunes "Blues for New Orleans" from Duke Ellington's "New Orleans Suite" featuring Wild Bill Davis on the B3, and from Brother Jack McDuff's "The Heatin System" redoing The Theme from "The Pink Panther" with the original soloist from the movie on tenor sax "Plas Johnson"...That tune is 60 years old this year, and I never get tired of listening to it...I love going down these KZfaq Rabbit Holes...It's making me rediscover, and appreciate what I've been collecting, and appreciating for more than 60 years...I once told my daughter, and her young friend at that time...Even if you think it is old, and you have never experienced it...Then it's new to you...Happy Listening!...Also, another Organ Player you should check out is Walter Wanderly he played the Hammond in a Latin Bossa Style...Good Stuff!

I agree, everybody was hitting the mark and having fun too.

👍👍

And the bass pedals....

Drawbar mastery - among so many other things going on all at once.

By and large the great B3 players have no bass player in their combo. I saw the late, great Joey D play in St. Louis about 10 years ago: him, guitarist, drummer. Not only did he play the B3, at one point he played flugelhorn with his right hand, B3 with left hand, bass with his left foot.

Check out Joey D and Van Morrison (!) in San Francisco - what a combination.@@volvo945

She’s not in the same league as Joey DeFrancesco or many others just yet.

Who could top this? Jimmy Smith. Joey D, Jimmy McGriff, Groove Holmes, to name a few. Dennerlein is good, but not great.

Larry Young. Don Patterson.

How is it possible that her left foot is better than my left hand?😉

@hans1970 Ha! Her left foot is better than my right hand! 😮

Magic stuff and what a brilliant band behind this great performer and her amazing sounding instrument!❤😃

Don't forget lugging the Leslie!

Nah, the Leslies were a piece of cake: Hammond B3 with pedal board and bench is about 420 lb, a 122 Leslie is about 140 lb. Take off the pedals and bench like my keyboard player did & you're still over 300lbs! But then again, he used a PAIR of 122s! @OzzMazz

Biblically, Smith is dead with no experiences. Unless you are denying the resurection where Jesus raises everyone out of gravedom, or shoel in Hebrew. This makes more sense that the dead being alive.

What about Jack McDuff?

I simply forgot about "The Brother" - but to be fair I did say "and all the other Legends of the B3" 😂 @@keithdubois8579

✔ Correct!

that's percussion

Most welcome

👍

She's twenty five years older now...like all of us.

You’re pretty easy on the eyes yourself- since I don’t have to look at you.

@@hellbooks3024troll!

Thanks for keeping the conversation going ;-)

Great observation.

DYNAMICS are the "seasoning" to any great production.

Everybody was having fun, that's for sure.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Jimmy Smith wasn't a big influence for her, but Larry Young was -- check out her interview linked on the channel page.

@@hans1970 Thanks so much for putting me on to this--I'll definitely check it out. Interesting that Jimmy Smith wasn't a major influence--it just seems to me that she incorporates some of his style in her playing. (I suppose, however, you could argue that Jimmy Smith in some way influenced ALL jazz organists that followed him--as he was really the first "breakout" star on the instrument and gave the organ a prominence it had never reached prior to him.)

Yes you're correct, Jimmy definitely took the Hammond to new places in jazz, moved away from the big chord approach to the soloing we know today. I've got a video clip titled "3 Nights in Tunisia" with Dizzy, Jimmy, and Barbara. Watch that and you can really see how different their approach is. All 3 are great, but also unique.

Jimmy Smith influenced everybody, so it was inevitable

Thanks Ronald, glad you enjoyed it!

I could never describe Barbara as an organ grinder , ever !

@@lesliehayton2929 it’s a complementary trade saying, and meant with no disrespect whatsoever Leslie. Barbara is pure brilliant and has incredible foot-work. Bye for now & Cheers!

Thank you too!😎

agree - Dennerlein & Messina play together perfectly.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yep, and thanks!
