wouldn't there be a roster of session guys that played at Capitol Records around that time?

 

Yeah, I'm checking for that, but can't find anything about an organist; Bill Miller was the pianist for Ol'Blue Eyes for years... don't hear any piano on the track (not that it's not there, but I don't hear any in the mix), so maybe Bill played organ on that track?

I'd almost be willing to bet it was Ernie Freeman. Freeman was known to play organ on Sinatra sessions as well as doing a bunch of his arranging through the 60's. One of Freeman's Hammond recordings under his own name surfaced on the Organs In Orbit CD from Capitol's "Ultra-Lounge" series, a pretty cool version of "Ray's Rockhouse."

 

The organ on the track here certainly sounds like it could be Ernie's playing, I wouldn't be surprised. I'll dig in the Hamtech archives...I remember some discussion a few years back about organ on Ol' Blue Eyes's discs.
