Ricky Peterson.....great soulful organist and all-around great keyboard player. My kind of groove.

and (great solo funk organ)

So when is 3 greater than 5? When the "3" is a B3 and the "5" is a T5 .

PS: Don't worry Boo. They only get mad at ME for saying stuff like that .

Oh yes, it's also THE PLAYER.

By the way, Ricky is the real deal! Enjoyed that.

How in the world did I miss Ricky? Plays and sings GREAT!

Probably, the pure B-3 players don't consider him direct competition because he's so great on vocals.

Joey D and others should "move over".


Nice find, Chas.

Great Stuff
Thanks for sharing

+ 1 ...

... and with Sadao Watanabe on sax ... not a name you hear every day ... I have one of his CDs from way back ...

Here's another little gem by Ricky with David Sanborn with Ricky playing WHAT!...a Nord C1 (I've got one gathering dust back in my storeroom - available btw ).

BTW, for those that like this type of music, did you pick up on how much a great percussionist (playing over a great 'pocket' drummer) adds to the GROOVE. In my next life, I'm only going to play in groups that have a great percussionist .

..and yeah Tony, one of my favorite sax guys for a long, long, time.

Don, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.".

I really enjoy watching percussionists ... they add so much to an arrangement ...

Here's a version from the 1998 Newport Jazz Festival ... I was there, had no idea who the 'keys' player was, only that he was really good ...

Neat!

All good stuff.
The only time I play one song for over 8 minutes is when I space out and lose track of time.

I love Funk played it in the 60's. Everyone who knows David Sanborn thinks he only plays Funk and Smooth Jazz. That's not true he plays Jazz Standard Ballads. He really plays anything even straight ahead bebop.
This proves it.

This one too

I like anything if it's good and professional. Even Boot Scootin Boogie, Friends In Low Places, For The Good Times so on and so forth.

Very nice performances. I used to own several Hammond's and Leslies, and in my later years precisely why I went the T5 route with great B3 and Leslie simulations, right down to the factory Hammond presets (see photo).
Maybe not as authentic as a B3, but I don't have the weight to worry about and I do gain a good backup band and selections of great Yamaha styles. Yamaha MusicSoft still pumps out great new Jazz and B3 styles as well.

Hey Marcus, maybe you missed my smiley faces. My reference to the T5 was just an 'inside joke/jab' at some of my old arranger-playing friends here. There are quite a few stand-out musicians here on SZ that really like and appreciate great LIVE jazz (and the skill it takes to master it). That was my target audience for this post.

The T5 is a fine instrument and for some, may be the 'best' arranger out there (I'm a Korg man myself, when it comes to Arrangers), but it's still AN ARRANGER, and will NEVER be musically equivalent to a GOOD live Jazz group---just as it's 'Hammond voices' will never be as expressive as a real B3. Still it's way more about the player than the instrument, and I'd much rather listen to a Marco Parisi on an arranger than some poser on a real B3.

On a personal level, I find much more satisfaction playing my organ (clonewheel - KeyB Duo Mk111) than any of my three arrangers but that's just my personal preference. I fully respect those that feel differently. I guess I just feel more directly connected to (and in control of) the music. Also, like many others here, I also immensely enjoy playing with other musicians. Like politics, it sometimes makes strange bedfellows. I think that is because music cuts through all the BS like religion, politics, race, culture, looks, etc., and goes straight to the heart of the matter, COMMUNICATION. Boo said something a while ago about real musicians being able to hear subtle things in a performance (a phrase, or 'lick') that just jump out and grabs you; and have more emotional impact than 5 stanzas of a hymn . Those that know what I mean...know what I mean (Yogi-ism?). Wow, I DO ramble on.

chas

Decent ramblin' though.

You nailed it, Chas. Damn, you're becoming a diplomat.
