Subject:Re: VERY NICE Gospel

Yep, with the leslie on fast it's often hard to tell if the C/V is on. You can hear it clearly "come out" when the leslie slows down in the first part. I love these moments.
Still very nice gospel organ. And yes: the Vent (I have one myself) is still the best leslie sim available.
The only crtiticisms I have (I play gospel Hammomnd myself, but I am german-born and far from the level of the true masters) is that 1) it's really a bit old fashioned by now; modern preaching chords (improvisation underneith the preacher) are very complex and go way beyond the old diminished chord passages and the I VI II V I chord progression. The leslie speed is also switched way more often. In the second piece it was always on fast. 
 
Still this man is a professional and talented Hammond player. I see he teaches jazz Hammond and I can imagine that he is really great at it.
 
Here is one of my fav modern gospel Hammond piece, even though the guy is white - but he is awesome. I think I already posted it here or elswhere. Anyway: enjoy (sure this is a real C3 (or C2 with added percussion set from Trek II) and a real leslie cabinet, but that IS true modern gospel (preching chords at the start and a personalized interpretation of s known tune:

One true give away on the quality of a leslie is how it sounds with C/V off.

When you have the C/V it adds so much to the Leslie sim that it is hard to know which is which
