I feel so "yesterday" since learning and listening to Chester (CT) Thompson. He played for a tribute to Mr Larry Young, Jr who is my wife's father in San Francisco! Shout out to KCSMs "Uncle" Pete Fallaco for putting an evening of organ together for her father's birthday. CT's "'Squid Cakes" was one of the featured tunes, and I was blown away!!
30+ years ago I saw CT during the TOP intermission play…OMG, I treasure that day
Oh my!! Just discovered this video.
Wow, stumbled on to this, love B3 based groups, and love Chester Thompson and Ernie Watts. Absolutely fabulous and swingin’!
CT Just found your UA-cam today 12:00AM Wow! I’m a Gospel Organist for 54 years… New fan! If you have a web page let know. Also your timing is impeccable!
like Charles Earland, or Cliff Coulter himself, CT is a genius compsoer & arranger of music for the Hammond as lead - the Tower of Power live sets from the day will show you CTs gospel improv, usually during the set-closer tune Knock Yourself Out.
Squib Cakes composed for them by CT is sort of a legend
This man (before helpinn Sanatan to some great rrcords) joined a 10 piece band, with a Hammond and Lelsies, and he with Castillo made it work (percussionist split and band went back to 10 piece.)
C.T. - I am your biggest fan since ToP Back to Oakland - whenever you're in Switzerland you are my guest. Thanks for your music. I listened to your solos hundreds of times and will do so foreever. Your sound and percussive playing is unbeatable LOVE IT
So much sound from just 4 guys!
Wish I could kick pedals like Chester.
1% as good would already be a lot!

42:29-42:59 CT took off the mask . . I'm glad to see he's still looking good.
I was shocked to be reminded at the end - quartet.
Four players, who (led by CT) made ensemble effects & used tone and dynamics, to make you think, sextet, at least.
Beautiful!!
Please post more videos of like this!!
Sosa congrats
Woooow - Larry Young classic to start, then that's a CT original from Powerhouse LP on Black Lion?
Watts comes out, flying.
And hey the mix is badass.
Oaktown, back in the cut.
Finnerty to my ear can do no wrong - and Ernie Watts' solo at halfway thru this show circa 0.33:00 is as heavy as James Carter or any cat today, years younger
Great stuff.
CTis GOD
Thanks for this video of a great performance Pete! Looks like CT was not happy with the vibrato of the B3, prob. volume resisdances from oil in the scanner from transport.....
agree but the bass was very sufficient.(#95159) B3
@@stevenlusardi1999 absolutely! Ah, #95159. Has orange pilot lamp but old drawbar design.
I personally, consider Chester Thompson to be, to the Hammond B-3, what Eric Clapton is, to the Fender Stratocaster! I'm not a big fan of Jazz, but CT is a master! 🎹👑
Great music, pity those poor people wearing facemasks poisoning themselves. Please take them off and enjoy oxygen! Thats how nature works. Genuinly wish you all great health and wisdom, Erik the Netherlands
How do masks "poison" people? And please cite your peer-reviewed scientific source to support your claim....OR you could just limit your comments to the subject at hand and enjoy the music (instead getting illogically distracted by what people wear, when it has absolutely no negative effect on you.)
@@travisbarney3591 hi Travis, you are right, it should be about enjoying great music. What disturbs me is that people wearing FM do actually harm themselves since most people wear them incorrectly and too long. This can/will cause buildups of spores of mould, bacteria etc, specially in a moist warm containment like a FM. The protective element against viruses (measuring around 100nanometer) is nil. I realise the people wearing this do it because they think it protects them, what i try to do is tell people it doesnt. But you are correct, this was not the right place. For scientific sources, there are plenty, ask any surgeon, or look at the packet these masks come in. It will tell you they do not protect against viruses. I do wish you and your loved ones great health and happiness, regards, Erik the Netherlands.
