CEB Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 What are some cover tunes that would sound cool on organ? I don't know if any of the greats have covered this one before but I came home from work one day last week and I fired up the Hammond in my living room and started messing around with 'So What' off the Kind of Blue album. I think this would make a cool tune for a organ trio or quartet with the organ playing both bassline and the piano chord voicings. Any tunes out there you think would be cool. Does Jim take requests?

Jim Alfredson Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Seems like we played "So What" on a gig not too long ago. Somebody requested it. Yes, it sounds just dandy on organ. Most standards sound just fine on organ. I like playing Song For My Father and Willow Weep For Me on organ. Hundreds of others. It's all good! Quote

Royal Oak Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I think"Dis Here" would sound pretty cool. Probably been done already. Quote
7/4 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 'Valley Girl' might work. I think the bass line would be perfect on organ pedals. Quote
