Organ players, playing PIANO (or maybe Fender)...

[Guy Berger]

I was just listening to Woody Shaw's very first album (his demo for BN with Joe Henderson, that later came out on Muse), along with the Nathan Davis album with Woody from about the same year. Both feature Larry Young on piano. I'm not sure if I know enough to pick out anything particularly interesting to say about Larry's piano-playing, relative to his organ-playing -- but maybe some others here (with better ears than I have) can make some comparisons (significant similarities, or differences).

Even more significantly, Larry played electric piano on Bitches Brew.

I saw Melvin Rhyne quite often in past three years, but have never seen him play organ. He always plays piano or some other keyboards. I wish he would play organ in live shows... The ower of local jazz club told me that Melvin is amazing on organ.

Do you have any of the records Mel Rhyne did with Wes? If not, remedy this immediately! Also, Mel's stuff on Criss Cross is great!

Larry Goldings, bet known as an organist has several piano recordings out.

hasn't Larry been quoted as preferring piano?

when that Moonbird album or whatever it was came out a few years back i remember a magazine interview where i came away with the impression he only played organ because it was easier for him to get a record deal that way.

oh ... hello. nice to meet you.
