The music is cake,and the facial gestures are the icing.

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

The faces those two are making at each other while they jam...☮🔥

[@terryclaytor973]

The faces are as entertaining as the music.lol

[@JCSBLUESBAND]

One of the best Hammond B3 Jams ever !!!

[@mellilore]

From "Lazy" (J. Lord, among the others) to the "Flight of the Bumble Bee" (Rimsky-Korsakov) it take just moments!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!!

[@warrendoris9669]

They made each.other work ! Great interaction and excellent hand offs.

[@theovaneeuwijk1858]

The Hammond and its sound can in no way be matched as can the style of the organists behind it. This does swing the pan so wonderfully. (Dutch expression) I could not sit still. This is really great.

[@LeKleiz]

j"aimerai écouter Th. MONK jouer du Hammond

[@ahamayikuzus]

I’ll be honest. When i was there when this happened i had no idea what magic was created. I’d give anything to be back on that stage with these guys.

[@perjonsson9535]

I come back to this video from time to my time because it's such a joy to listen to as well as watching you both play. Great jam!

[@markielinhart]

That’s some jam session! Blown away 👏👏🌹🌹🇦🇺✌️

[@acousticman50]

Wow! Absolutely fantastic!

[@ghairraigh]

🎵 Jam session in between classes 🎵 ...now that is one hip school!

[@justinderosa3429]

The Hammond B-3 is by far the best sounding organ ever! And the 122 sound.

[@timd7782]

Lord have mercy- you guys rock!!!

[@Starchild670]

This shit blows me away. Damn, I wish I could play like that.

[@b3bilco]

You and me both!

[@mikedavis9891]

You can !!! How bad do you want it............???

[@Belchmaster41]

@@mikedavis9891 Jim Alfredson has a video on his channel that basically goes over the key features of the Hammond XK5 (including customizing everything)

[@DrLumpy]

It's been five years. Are you still wishing? If you'd started studying then, you'd be a master now.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Truly spectacular. Just heavenly. Such masters of the Hammond! A great video.

[@charmpapi4664]

one word SMOKING .. GREAT STUFF.

[@nateo2131]

This shit is lit!!!!! What an awesome set of bass, drums, and two Hammond/Leslies!!!

[@wimsmith8901]

Splendid, great, love it!

[@Davett53]

Yay Tony! He's Columbus, Ohio's favorite son. He's got the groove & cooks.

[@patricklemeur6360]

ce son Hammond vraiment magnifique ! quel instrument !....

[@rijden-nu]

I don't know much about jazz and certainly have no idea who these two genii are, but MAN that dude on the left can play some freaking bass!

[@herbseitzer]

That’s Tony Monico on the left…

[@toneyam3643]

Great interaction between you two.

Just came across this today. DAMN!

[@ciaronm.7694]

That is ridiculous! Wow!

[@dylandefeo6502]

Gerard's got a lot of Groove Holmes elements to his playing! Love it so much

[@SimpsonSound]

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like Groove. He's about the only one these days that does. He's got Groove down.

[@ahamayikuzus]

Gerard was taught by groove- close friend.

[@dylandefeo6502]

@@ahamayikuzus Oh wow! Very cool

[@Belchmaster41]

@@dylandefeo6502 are you sure? most players learn by using a digital keyboard by following the 3-lesson program for each song; note for note, chord by chord (for the bass/primary key) some start as young as 8 years old

[@murrayatuptown353]

I knew (& forgot) GG was the organist on the James Carter Organ Trio Live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge album...it's all coming back...awesome. Tony is too.

[@Mark-ce3gp]

Baker's..Right on..

Harvey knockin' it out....smokin' jam man!

[@DavidKing-xh2wo]

The place is jumping, but the people are just sitting there taking it in. Looks to me like it is a practice session as there is no audience. The organists and the drummer look like they are just enjoying themselves… Infectious and fun !

[@Artistimberlake]

yeah man to of my favorite guys here

[@tlprincipe]

must be mind over matter to be able to play bass lines like that! Great stuff..

[@phibber]

amazing bass...considering his left foot aint movin.

[@murrayatuptown353]

Ha! I just saw the bassist in the back. or did I?

[@jameslaugtug8937]

Watch Tony's foot more carefully!

[@zaj58]

they are not always using the feet. Primarily playing the bass lines w/ left hand and pumping a pedal for some extra umph.. but once in awhile they will double up the bass line with the pedals or do a line with the pedals while they are pulling drawbars or switching percussion setting or even comping a bit w/ the left hand ...most all organ jazz guys do it this way with the exception of a few...

[@b3bilco]

@@zaj58 Yep, the big exception I know about is Barbara Dennerlein. She uses pedal sustain, but kicks 16th runs all day in heel boots while burning up both manuals. She and Tony have duetted before.

[@AugustineMotiar]

It's like watching two guys with Sammy Davis Jr. and Fred Astaire for fingers glide across the organ.

[@kadertouri2664]

Интересный у них диалог, однако...😊

[@winstonbeech3418]

My XK3C came with several demo tracks embedded, I believe played by Tony Monaco. If I want to impress people I play the one called "B3 Cookin" and sit there acting like I know what I'm doing. Hey it once fooled a dealer. For about 5 seconds.

[@DavidKing-xh2wo]

Who is drummer ? He is not listed. Great music that I keep coming back to.

[@Bio90]

Ouch

[@Notmehimorthem]

What scale(s) are they using, not conventional ones?

[@dieterhelmutgrecksch2593]

[@kbrown4ou]

Do any Hammond organ players ever use the Hammond Auto-Vari 64 rhythm module? I don’t play organ but have ended up with a couple of these Hammond rhythm units and they look like they were built to sit atop a B3, etc. Just curious. Thanks.

[@leonhh677]

havent heard of these before. Might mainly be used for home performance

[@Espectro101]

Tony Monarco should have been a guitar player with those faces he pulls.

How the hell can some people just sit in the background and not stomp their feet!!!!!!

[@corneliusyoung9699]

They might be shaking, noddin, or girating some other part of their body. No way in hell they’re just sitting there unless they don’t have a pulse.

Harvey Mason on drums? I just noticed there is a guitarist too...quietly playing, with no name in the credits.

I only know 3 instruments, Hammond Moog and Rhodes, I can't remember the others.

[@towelfella]

Literally all you need

[@Makraska]

Is Tony Monaco really Joe Walsh?

[@wintermoon1939]

Monaco has one of the weirdest left hand techniques I've ever seen. it's like he doesn't realize he has a thumb. but whatever works for you I guess.

[@b3bilco]

He has a muscle disorder, so he has to support his left hand with his thumb while playing bass. That's why you see him hunch down a good bit. It's also why he had to quit accordion. The man has some grit in him. Press On Regardless.

[@bradtownsend9401]

wintermoon1939 Ex-accordion player. Never used his thumb playing the cordeen and kept up the tradition. Just a guess...

[@yaakovyisraelsarahson4239]
