Big Band Left Hand & Pedals

The whole concept of this CD is to teach you something that I was taught when I first started playing, which is the ability to create the rhythm of your choosing without having to have a rhythm unit knocking away in the background. Which is something that all cinema organists learn very early on.
At that time the only professional organ on the market you could buy that you could move around from venue to venue was the Hammond organ and I had a B 200 portable with a very large Leslie speaker (I said it was movable not easily movable), which didn’t have a rhythm unit so you always had to have a drummer with you.
Now to get the rhythm over to the drummer you had to create it with your left hand & pedals and this CD has been designed to over the next 45 Minutes, to start you off on the path to enlightenment.
