Klaus dominates the ecstatic crowd on his Wersi Helios pumping out the riffs of  blockbusters such as "Star Wars Theme" and "Puttin' on the Ritz". I can't believe the ladies are able to keep their undergarments on!

R.I.P. Bo Hansson

Bo Hansson, the Swedish organist and composer has died.

He was probably most well known for his 'Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings' and for being one part of the duo Hansson & Karlsson (their rare flexi Ep's is a part of one of PCL's compilations here - you can also see some groovy clips with the band here in this swedish tv special).
His music and his vision definitively deserves to be more recognized.

Tico Tico á la Ethel Smith

Uploaded by hammondfanatic

(Via my friend Erik. Thanks! Det fräser verkligen fett.)

"Ethel Smith (November 22, 1910 – May 10, 1996) was an organist who played primarily in a pop style on the Hammond organ.

Her recording of Tico Tico was her best-known hit. It reached No. 14 on the U.S. pop charts in November 1944 and sold over one million copies worldwide. She also recorded it for the 1944 film, Bathing Beauty" - Wikipedia

Wild Fire

"Utterly obscure 45rpm single featuring jazz organist Larry Young - released on a local New Jersey label - undated, but presumably from his early 70's 'Lawrence of Newark' phase - once dubbed 'The Coltrane of the Organ ..."
Listen to Harold Martin & Larry Young Jr - ‘Wild Fire’ over at Waxidermy.

Rhoda Scott - Moanin'

"... Scott was first attracted to the organ in her father’s church at age seven. "It's really the most beautiful instrument in the world," she stated in a recent interview. "The first thing I did was take my shoes off and work the pedals." From then on she always played her church organ in her bare feet, and to this date she has continued the practice, earning her nicknames such as "The Barefoot Lady" and "The Barefoot Contessa." Following her lead, many other performers of popular organ music now also play barefoot. Because of her church training, however, Scott uses the pedals to play a genuine bass line, unlike many other jazz organists, which allows her to use her left hand for more elaborate chord work. The resulting music is an energetic fusion of musical styles that partakes of jazz, gospel, and classical, reflecting both Scott’s early experience and her formal training. ..." [quoted from Wikipedia entry]
This very clip is from 1972
