SUNNY - Chris Hazelton at the Hammond Organ
Here’s my take on the 1966 classic “Sunny” by Bobby Hebb. This has to be one of the most covered songs of all time, and that’s because it’s such a GREAT tune!
Big thanks to my very first virtual student Konrad in Germany for inspiring me to record this one today. Email me at chrishazeltonmusic@gmail.com to inquire about private virtual Hammond Organ lessons.

Three Technique Tips for Better Walking Basslines on the Hammond B-3
Переглядів 9145 місяців тому
This is a video I’ve wanted to do for a while now. These are 3 technique tips passed on to me from my teachers Dr. Lonnie Smith and Everette DeVan on how to get the best jazz walking bass sound on the Hammond B-3 Organ. Simple concepts that are easy to implement with some focused discipline! Of course, these things are subjective, and plenty of great players do things differently. Let me know w...

As I reflect on this Resurrection Sunday, I’m just so thankful for everything. Here is my take on the iconic Richard Smallwood/Gloria Gaither classic. I’ve been trying to focus more on my gospel playing in the last year. I hope this moves you! 1963 Hammond A-100 and Leslie 142 #hammondb3 #hammondorgan #kansascity #kcmo #gospel #gospelmusic #richardsmallwood #gaither #jesus
The Days Of Wine And Roses (funky) - Chris Hazelton on the Hammond B-3
Переглядів 2,2 тис.7 місяців тому
10 years ago, I posted a play along video of “The Days Of Wine And Roses” in a funky style in the Jam Of The Week group on Facebook, and the collaborations posted over the following week were incredible! When I saw it in my Facebook memories last week, I realized that I never actually took a solo, so here’s a few choruses. Enjoy! 1969 Hammond B-3 and Leslie 122 Filmed on iPhone 13 Mini #hammond...

This song was such a banger when it came out in 2013. The combination of Daft Punk, Nile Rodgers, and Pharrell Williams was so killer. When I heard it, I almost immediately wrote up an arrangement for my group Boogaloo 7, and this one would throw the audience into a frenzy every time we played it at our Friday night residency at the Green Lady Lounge in Kansas City, MO. Good times. I hope you e...

Here’s one time through the incredible melody of “Misty” by Erroll Garner (with a few embellishments). Both of my mentors always emphasized that the Hammond organ was taylor-made for ballads, and they were right! 1969 Hammond B-3 and Leslie 122 Recorded on iPhone 13 Mini #hammondb3 #hammondorgan #leslie #jazz #jazzorgan #organ #kcmo #kansascity #ballad #jazzstandard #jazzballad #errollgarner
On A Clear Day - Chris Hazelton at the Hammond Organ

Swinging at home on one of my very favorite jazz standards, “On A Clear Day” by Burton Lane. It was probably most known for the movie musical version featuring Barbra Streisand, but I always think of the funky version by The Peddlers that was featured in the TV show Breaking Bad.

Wishing a happy heavenly birthday today to my mentor, teacher, friend, and papa…. Everette DeVan, on what would be his 74th birthday. I wouldn’t be an organist today if not for him, and there’s a whole generation of musicians in Kansas City that owe their careers to him as well. Without question, he was one of the heaviest grooving Hammond organists to ever play the instrument. Here is my quick...

I received my new MAG P-2 organ earlier this week, and I couldn’t be more excited. This thing is such a beast, and is so realistic sounding. It’s laid out to the exact dimensions of a Hammond B-3, to half a millimeter! Here’s a little groovin with it plugged into my vintage Leslie 142 before I pack up for my gig tonight.

      @@ChrisHazeltonB3 I've found that using a heel/toe technique with the left foot you can put down a pretty good bass line. I find playing left-hand bass too confining, particularly when you want to change registrations. This is NOT a criticism of your playing--sounds great!

    Dear Chris, I really enjoy your clip (so I went to bandcamp and brought your album). I'm a guitarist (not a pro) who recentely lost a friend who was a great organ player. 3 Weeks ago I had the idea to start playing the organ myself. Now I'm mostly doing finger excersice (on the piano to gain strenght and get dexterity in my hands, especially the right one ) and now transcribe a lot of basslines and bass parts with correct fingerings....and as soon as I get better independence on left to right hand, this will be big fun btw. I'm 45 but it's never too late :-) ...... much thanks for the clip and your music, greetings from far away switzerland
