I don't remember. I don't have this album anymore and it was too long ago.

Herbie Hancock, although it was never widely publicized or properly credited. He is the ghost organist on Herbie Mann's Stone Flute album.

One of my desert island discs!

Yes it is. I find it interesting that his approach is that of a classically trained pianist/composer, less the dance musician that he was with the Lecuona Cuban Boys. Next was this one:

Of course! Waller and Count Basie.

Last evening, a sip of this:

Clare Fischer played quite a bit of organ over the years on various sessions, including a solo organ / Rhodes piano LP. There are just as many organists playing piano, either when there was no organ available, or just for fun - Melvin Rhyne, Jack McDuff.

The weekend bottle: Vinosia Luciano Ercolino Orus Primitivo 2014

Nice idea for an album cover thread!

Hard to choose any, all the more so as I prefer Cuban music, which is not Salsa in a strict sense (Tito Puente, e.g., hated the term) - Salsa may be described as the variant of US Puerto Rican. But this gives a good sample of one of the great players: https://www.discogs.com/release/4343996-Eddie-Palmieri-The-History-Of-Eddie-Palmieri

I never borrow CDs from libraries, my tastes are too uncommon. Books only from university libraries. I have an external hard drive with downloaded music but rarely use it, even though there is some rare music on it. I never stream music.

Exactly!

Yesterday, this newl acqusition:

Great!

He was so great! R.I.P. My favourites:

Very sad - R.I.P. Wasn't he related to Norman Schwartz, who was associated with Cal Tjader and Gary McFarland?

My thoughts as well about Burton's text. Reminds me of his approach on his tribute disc. Let me say that this puts Tjader's "Jazz" side into focus, less the Latin Jazz side. That's the way he saw himself, and the way he structured his performances, a set or two of jazz, with the conga player entering the stage for the second or third set. Have listened to all of disc one now, and Tjader's solos were excellent! Judging by these recordings he was up to par with Bags.
