Soulstation1 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Walk On The Wild Side - 1961 JOS plays the hammond with his chin.... 8 Counts for Rita - 2004 Edited July 5, 2006 by Soulstation1 Quote
Free For All Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) The Jazz Scene USA series that the JOS "chin music" comes from was a great short-lived show. Oscar Brown Jr. is a little bit of a hipster doofus at times (his interview with Rosolino is priceless), but there was some great music. Some of the best Rosolino I've heard. Each artist plays their own arrangement of the show's theme, so you hear Cannonball, the Kenton mellophonium band et al play their own versions. That and Ralph Gleason's Jazz Casual were two great short-lived jazz shows from the early 60s. There were 3 great Woody Herman segments and a Thad and Mel in addition to the well-known Trane (and another Cannonball). I know most around here are aware of these, but there might be some who aren't. Great stuff. edit- available on DVD, too although I'm not sure how long they might be available. Seems like stuff like that comes and goes too quickly. I just checked and titles from both shows can be found at CDUniverse, Amazon, Overstock and others. Worth getting IMHO.

Harold_Z Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 OHHH! So he does that fast 3 against 4 triplet thing (or whatever that is) with ONE finger! A lot of cats I know use 3 fingers for that. 321321321 etc. It's always the good feel that wins it. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 OHHH! So he does that fast 3 against 4 triplet thing (or whatever that is) with ONE finger! A lot of cats I know use 3 fingers for that. 321321321 etc. It's always the good feel that wins it. Most I've seen use two fingers. When I first saw that video and JOS was doing it with one finger, I was dumbfounded. I still don't know how he does it. Here's to THE MAN of the Hammond organ.... Jimmy Smith. RIP. Quote

I think he puts his finger in "overdrive" and lets it rip. I'd like to see him do THAT with his chin. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 JOS "chin music" ... gives new meaning to "high and inside". Quote
Jazz Kat Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 Wow. I like this better than the video of him playing Mack the Knife. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted August 20, 2006 Report Posted August 20, 2006 There's another documentary about the B3 in the works called Killer B3, although I can't really find any information on it besides this clip on YouTube, which was supposedly shot for the film. Quote
