Mike Reed plays "Sunny" on the Hammond Organ

[@pianomusic4church471]

I'm amazed at his pedal work! Extremely difficult to use only one foot (and in sandals!) all over the pedalboard. And he is always accurate! Just amazing. I'm a trained organist and we use 2 feet and special shoes lol. I get why he has to use only one foot and I am just amazed at how precise he is. Wonderful job!

[@johnboyer9008]

How is it even possible to do the complex and rapid work of the hands, and then do the footwork too? Notes are rapid in succession and many times many at the same time. I swear I could never do it. To me it is a lot of hard work and practice coupled with a Godly gift ! -john

[@HS-wp5vb]

Not that I would personally know that chap, but from his pedal work I guess he had a pretty good education as a church organist.

[@marciosilva8582]

Interpretação majestosa e fantástica

[@sebastienlebray2607]

What a marvellous thing to discover Mike while searching some Hammond organ examples on KZbin. What elegance, virtuosity and class! I'm sad to read in the comments that he's no longer with us. I would have loved to tell him that his wonderful videos would illustrate one of my courses at the University of Strasbourg, France. May he rest in peace, thanks for letting us great music.

[@billys16-7]

What a brilliant intro!…as always thank you and thank for leaving such a wonderful legacy, a true maestro - R.I.P Mr. Reed 🙏 God bless you and your family.

[@paulsherman51]

Wow now this piece is smooooooooooooth!!! RIP Reed, godspeed, jam with all the greats up there

[@HS-wp5vb]

Amazing performance. Should be on stage performing with the Rolling Stones.

[@timhart742]

Love this as I do so many of his performances. RIP Mike Reed! You will be missed.

[@talscriver5870]

This rocks!🎉

[@robertcloutier2029]

Very good player.

[@AnalogueGround]

RIP Mike

[@sbaecher]

Mike's music has always touched my soul. I came across his videos only 2 years ago. You could always feel Mike putting his soul into the music. His feeling with which he played the Hammond organ was somehow unique. I will miss his music. I hope to meet him in musician heaven someday. R.I.P.

He was the master of registration. He knew how to bring the best out of the instrument.

[@letsexplainricky6825]

So enjoy listening to your music

[@James-StJames]

Top drawer brother. Thought you were gonna go into "Spooky" for a second near the end there...

[@trainliker100]

Thanks. This has always been one of my favorite songs and I listened to it a lot in the 1960's on juke boxes. I tend to like "mournful" sounding songs and it wasn't until years later that I learned that Bobby Hebb wrote this after his older brother had been stabbed to death.

[@pigulus]

Great groove! Great improvisation and 6+minutes of wonderful playing on the Grandee

[@ericore67]

J'adore. Genial Merci

[@logic58]

[@everettdorado4261]

I like your style I like your Hammond organ. I'm from the West Coast and I have a cousin that plays Is hammond b 3 like a Jimmy McGriff and Jimmy smith style. Richard Grove homes. I wish you didn't live so far, i'd come see you man, I guess you live in the East Coast. It should be a delight to hear You bleed. Thank you for your music

[@twagenknecht]

Mike you are at another level. This was absolute perfection. All the best

Un maestro. Gran estilo espectacular👋👋👋👋👍

[@JongleurJ10]

Very nice. Nice vibe too. I normally despise the running the finger up or down the keys as a cheap trick but he does it to very good effect.

[@t.p.mckenna]

Check out his rendition Satin Doll. He does it to great effect there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3bIZ6mhaamZbJo

I have now found my absolute favorite Mike Reed video! What an awesome groove you attained on your Hammond Grandee Mike! I perform this piece regularly at my gigs. Coincidentally, my backing track prominently features a soul Hammond in the arrangement.

[@mikereed3444]

Alrighty, then, Mark. So glad you enjoyed it. Take care...

[@jeffconley819]

@@mikereed3444 super nice job mike. Are you up in Cleveland ?

[@plozar]

like the chords you use Mike

[@thomaslindsey7685]

Mike, when did you start studying music? Are you a veteran, if so what branch? What other instruments do you play? I can play the radio pretty good. Thanks for sharing your talent. I was born in Toledo, grew up in Columbus.

[@barrymadden5680]

Mike I have watched a lot of your videos and am truly amazed at your talent on the organ. You certainly have a God given talent and thank you for sharing it with all of us. Also, thank you for the update on your health and I join all the others in wishing you a full and complete recovery. You are in everyone prayers!

[@edfrederick72]

Awesome performance. Is your music available to buy? I want to be listening to this while I'm stuck on the I-5 going 5 mph on the way to work. This would lift my spirits.

[@christinataylor6572]

edfrederick72. As a fan of Mike’s I’m sorry to say that Mike Reed went to Heaven ,Christmas Eve. 😢 2022 We all will miss him terribly. He made 3 Record Albums in the 1960’s And Many videos here., in the 100’s. Please still enjoy his Wonderful Music. Sincerely Chris. ♥️🎶🥀🎶♥️🥰🙏😎🎹P.S. Is that the I-5 that runs through Portland,🥀, Oregon.?

[@bruceyover]

Totally amazing, I have a B3 and cannot play at all, but what Hammond are you using as it has it all !!!

[@johnpontaoe3637]

I can't drive wearing flip flops, so not likely able to tend to the bass pedal wearing them either

[@wildeve2003]

I am wondering if he is the same fellow that played organ for the Detroit Tigers?

[@jeffconley819]

What model organ is that. Does it have tone wheels.

[@trainliker100]

Irt is a Hammond Grandee and it uses tone wheels.

[@stanisawk1385]

Joe de Francesco should to teach play the Hammond from You, I know, He is gone :-(

[@helio85384]

This is Hammond X77 ?
