Book Reviews of Funky Organ Grooves Book with audio CD
Book Review: A Creative and Inspiring Introduction to Organ Styles...
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't write too many reviews but felt this book was a very pleasant surprise so some positive feedback was in order.
The author did an exceptional job of exposing me to a wide variety of contemporary organ styles. This book is chock full of creative riffs, rhythms, and grooves in the rock, R&B, jazz, blues, reggae, and Latin styles. The author never seems to run out of inspiring ideas. (And if you are an improviser like me you can use them as a launching pad for your own stuff.)
I'm a weekend warrior musician whose playing had recently been stuck in a rut. Fortunately, after working through this book my playing has reached a new level of creativity and fun.
The enclosed CD is well recorded and easy to follow.
I can't understand one of the reviews below. I don't think the intent of this book was to concentrate specifically on the Hammond B-3; rather, I believe the author's intent was to show what kinds of styles and idioms the organ (in general) is capable of. In fact it might be kind of an advantage that drawbars and Leslie settings were not covered, because this book could be of great advantage to piano or synth players as well. True, there are some pentatonic-based riffs in the book, but that is exactly what I was looking for and very appropriate for the blues, rock, R&B, and other genres Mr. Gordon covers.
If you are looking for some new creativity and inspiration in your organ or keyboard playing this would be a great place to start. Highly recommended!
