The Organ

Here's my pick for Pullen's organ work.  The great Doug Carn albums are 'Infant Eyes", 'Spirit of the New Land', and 'Revelation', though not necessarily for his organ playing per se (and he plays a lot of piano on them).

Infant Eyes,  Spirit Of The New Land, and Revelation are certainly the definitive Carn sides, but before those he did a trio album for Savoy in 1969 that I found pretty satisfying in a much more "traditional organ trio" fashion. Hardly something you "need to have", but if you find it, enjoy!

I completely agree with these selections! (Shakill's II is also very good)

I love Clare Fischer's organ playing on Cal Tjader's Sona Libre (half organ, half piano, though):

There was a CD reissue in the 1980's.

This Revelation solo LP has Fischer swinging his ass off on a Yamaha organ:

I second the recommendation of the quartet LP with Gary Foster - the two were a great pairing!
