Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.03 sec. |
Hammond organElectric organ invented in the USA by Laurens Hammond in 1934. It is widely used in gospel music. Hammond applied valve technology to miniaturize Thaddeus Cahill's original ‘tone-wheel’ concept, introduced draw-slide registration to vary timbre, and added a distinctive tremulant using rotating speakers. The synthesizer was developed from the Hammond organ. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Credit Hammond B3 organist Robert Waller and guitarist Will Bernard with digging a deep, greasy groove. DOSS is all instrumentals, with a Hammond B3 organ up front, giving it a Meters kind of feel (and RIP Jimmy Smith, speaking of Hammond B3s and soul). The background orchestration usually includes drum set, mallet percussion and sometimes a Hammond B3 organ, brass, guitar, synth/strings and so forth. |
