Subject:Re: Hammond Organ Learning Resource

I recently learned that Ed Landsberg is about to complete a new book
on GOSPEL and BLUES playing which will have even more examples than
the 7 Secrets of Jazz and Soul book.
The nice thing about Ed is that he'll answer almost any stoopid
question that you might have on Hammond playing technique via email, -
provided you buy his book i guess! As i said in a previous post,
Ed's current book is the best resource IMHO, that is dedicated purely
to Hammond technique that i have been able to find.
