tucktronix Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 ..... I honestly am baffled that anyone would thing of Jorday or Wakeman as "Blues" players in the spirit of this question. ... I don't think they are blues players. But the question was who is a blues eqivilent of SRV. The question was who is the "blues organ equivalent of SRV". Rudess or Wakeman would not be a good fit for that category Kronos 88 Platinum, Yamaha YC88, Subsequent 37, Korg CX3, Hydrasynth 49-key, Nord Electro 5D 73, QSC K8.2, Lester K Me & The Boyz Chris Beard Band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Nathan Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hey Steve, Jimmy Calire has a website and has stuff available on CD baby and I tunes. Looks like he does mostly piano now. I'll check this guy out. Thanks for the heads up. Musicale Yeah, I know. It's been a long time since a sat rapt in front of his B3 (like 40+ years ) The closest thing on his current page to what I think this thread is talking about is that live cut from the mid 90s of "Change is Gonna Come" when Raven did a "reunion" concert in Buffalo. Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threadslayer Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Guess it takes a guitar player playing piano to do Jimi any justice! [video:youtube] Hmmm. I don't know exactly what that is, but it ain't Hendrix IMO. No likee. I prefer the other clip where he plays it on a Strat.

David Loving Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Am I the only person who is not overly impressed with the music of SRV? I've heard enough of it to last me a lifetime. I like Jimmy a lot better. Got that simple 50's sound. one of my fave players "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phloid Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I suggested Lee Michaels in the first thread on this topic. Slightly off topic, here is a different question: Who is the Santana of organ? The answer is Gregg Rolie. He was responsible for a significant portion of the Santana and Pre-Perry-Journey sound. Before he fell back on repeating a cliche of himself, I think Santana played guitar like an organist with a Leslie speaker cabinet.......bouncing back and forth between mysterious melodic passages to intensely emotional peaks. Pre-Perry-Journey's Neal Schon was Carlos Santana on steroids. Gregg Rolie added a fullness to the sound and provided a complimentary break from the guitars.

StartRun Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 ...chronologically, wouldn't Vaughan be the guitar equivalent of Steve Winwood on Hammond ? Winwood predates Vaughan, ergo the question should be reversed. As a keyboardist, I really don't give a hoot-in-Hell about Vaughan or any other guitar hero.

Musicale Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 What are the criteria for determining equivalence between an organist and a guitar player ? Like do they cop each others licks, comparable harmonies for the 3 chors used ib typical blues, or the ability to bend notes or is it popularity/timelessness, songwriting ability, vocals? A strange and difficult comparison to make... Musicale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
area51recording Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I Think Lee Michaels would be the guy......SRV wasn't just about playing guitar, it's the whole attitude he projected that IMO spawns the heroic emulation from other players, and I think Lee has that in spades......

Jim Alfredson Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Sammy Avila. - Hammond Sam I think he is still playing with Walter Trout. Yes, he is. Shared a festival bill with them this summer. He uses an XK3c through a 122. But for some reason the 122 was not working that night, so he used a Ventilator, much to the chagrin of his soundguy / tech who kept complaining how much the Vent "sucked". Keep it greazy!

HSS Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hard to find any keyboardist that spawned an army of hat/scarf wearing wanna be's Very true.... When I lived in Houston until a few years ago, a bandleader I used to play for referred to the SRV guitar-clone army as the "Hats and Strats idiots". IMO the guitarists' SRV wannabee thing has become almost as cliché as Elvis impersonators. It's a shame too, because I actually rather enjoyed some of SRV's material, especially the songs in which he used to let Reese cut loose. Although, in general, I prefer his brother Jimmy's catalogue more.

Baldwin Funster Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm trying to picture who would be the SRV of organ. He would have to play in a trio with bass/drums, sing lead and stand up front .
