This time on the program, we’re taking another look at the great organ players of the hi-fi, most of whom preferred the Hammond organ and often the B-3 model specifically. It was an instrument that just radiates cool no matter if you were swinging away at a tune or playing something slow and soulful. We’ll hear from Milt Buckner, Brother Jack Mc Duff, Jimmy Smith, and many more.
