Actually, IMHO Lord got even better as the years rolled by... As
mentioned earlier in this thread, Lord and the rest of the 60's Deep
Purple were heavily influenced by Mark Stein and Vanilla Fudge. They
used to listen to their albums as they drove around. In fact, if you
listen to certain songs from the two bands at the time you can pick up
hints of Mark Stein's style in Lord's playing. The organ intro to Hey
Joe certainly sounds like sections of Season of the Witch... Also
remember that Lord came from a classical background and Stein came from
R&B...

Now, when they kicked out Rod Evans and Nick Simpter and replaced them
with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover, the sound of that band changed
radically... They were now being influenced by such heavyweights as Led
Zepplin. You can hear it in all the songs on In Rock. Lord's rock style
was developing into a more (believe it or not) jazzier style, still
incorporating classical influences. His organ became more distorted, but
still used a Leslie until Machine Head.

As he explains on the INCREDIBLE DVD "Classic Rock Albums: Machine
Head", Lord developed a style of comping like a rock guitarist on the
organ. He shows exactly how on this DVD (A MUST HAVE for any rock organ
player)...

This might be a bit of a Hammond newbie question:
How do you get that chopping sound? Do you drum the same chord hand-
over-hand? Or is it a one-hand thing? BTW, are there more good
examples of Jon Lord playing in that style? It's hard to believe its
the same guy as the later stuff.
