Subject:video recommendations?


i want to learn to play hammond organ - especially gospel and jazz, but mostly i want to
just learn to play the instrument. i will actually be playing a clone (haven't bought one yet,
but soon) since i can neither afford nor manage to carry around a real b3 and leslie.
maybe someday i'll find one for the studio, but for starters it will be cloneland. anyway,
i've seen some videos advertised at bt productions, eddie landsburg.com, ebay etc. and
am wondering what people have found helpful.

over the years i have played classical and jazz trumpet, pop/rock piano and synths; and
organ on a rompler. i know a lot of theory, and know the keyboard, but i know very little
about idiomatic hammond organ playing. i'd like to learn comping and soloing in a group
setting, as well as arranging for solo organ - especially playing hymns with gospel/jazz
flavor.

so pointers to videos, books, etc. that people have found helpful along these lines would
be great.

thanks,
larry
