Finally after 50 years of looking, I have finally found a theater organist who does a really good job. At least all those organists at Eastman finally found out what was really possible on a Wurlitzer Theater Organ, the Unit Orchestra.

I payed organ for about ten years, and now wish I’d kept on. These guys that play in videos from Rochester and other venues are amazing. Many play their programs from memory. I just realized I said “guys”. I don’t recall seeing any women organists. Why, I wonder?

He has also played the Barr-Fox organ that is in Bandrika Studios. Nathan Barr owns it and had it totally rebuilt by the late Ken Crome, he also built a building especially for the organ.

Dave Wickerham is one of less than a dozen true masters of the Theater Organ. And, IMHO, easily in the top 3. Full disclosure: my orbit is fairly small so I don't have a great number of talented performers to compare. Still.... he always, and I mean ALWAYS, excels. Music selection, registrations, delivery....always spot on.

What a shame the camera wasn't held still. Very slow movements are a must when taking video recordings, otherwise they cause motion sickness and you can't actually see very much.

His opening song, Bojangles of Harlem, my all time favorite “console risers” is virtually impossible to make your own if you have any familiarity with George Wright’s amazing version. Here, David is done such a masterful job of making it his own, and it’s just as good as George. Thank you!

I guess I’ll start off the comments here with my vote to David as a fresh new voice in the theatre organ world! I’ve been following his video output for awhile now and have been nothing but impressed with his totally original take on the instrument. This concert started off with one of my personal favorite songs “Bojangles Of Harlem”. His choice of selections is just stellar. And yes, I agree about that gorgeous vibraphone! Keep it up David. I can’t wait for your future recordings. If not on CD, hopefully on iTunes. 😉❤️🎶

Jelani is one of the very few artistes who use all of the resources available on the theatre organ to the greatest orchestral effect. From second touch to sostenuto. From Pizzicato coupler to exquisite use of the swell peddle. Then, the wonderful orchestration and registration and musicality. All this and a great instrument, well maintained and tuned. Heaven. Thanks from the UK.
