by the looks of it, Medeski is playing a Hammond A100 Organ through a Leslie 145, Hohner D6 Clavinet, ARP Solina String Ensemble, Wurlitzer 200 Electric Piano, Mellotron M400 and Moog Voyager.
@jeffreymanian37599 жыл бұрын
***** definitely not a Wurlitzer 200. Pretty sure it's a 140b. I once chatted with his keyboard tech after a show who told me that Medeski has a whole bunch of Wurlitzers, most of them broken in some way. At that particular show he used a Wurlitzer 106. Also that's Medeski's personal A100 (always has the back panel off) and personal D6 (has the carvings on the sides and the front panel off). Notice the A100 has a broken key at this show (16:05).
@SluffAdlin9 жыл бұрын
Jeffrey Manian oops my mistake, wasn't sure, I thought it might have been a blond coloured Wurly 200, which I believe the 200's came in different colours. Thanks for the other info as well. Medeski is a huge inspiration to me. A100's are amazing, I own both a 1964 A100 and a 1959 B3. If find the A100 has more character and a better sounding scanner vibrato than the B3, which has a lot of bottom end.

These guys are truly artists and anyone who considers this a "jam band" doesn't have a clue about music. And, for the guy who said improvising is easy, you obviously don't know what true improvisation is! The ability to spontaneously create music with other people and be able to sync groove, harmony and and space requires mastery of one's instrument and perception of time! What I am hearing hear is pure magic created by three minds in a separate dimension of their own, connected by auditory stimuli and telepathic communication. Maybe the guy that thinks this is a waste of time should stick to listening to Katy Perry and AC/DC
