28 Hammond Organ Favorites 1944-1956 CD

The prototype Hammond Organ was introduced to the American public, in April 1935 by engineer Laurens Hammond. The relatively low cost of his invention by comparison with a pipe organ made it an immediately attractive proposition to churches, theatres, cinemas, private homes and, especially in the United States, radio stations. Later models have continued to be built until the present time, with the Hammond Organ Company now owned by the multi-national Suzuki more producing digital versions said to sonically clone the original Hammond models. Over the decades, Jazz musicians, and a variety of Blues, Rock and Gospel performers have been drawn to the instrument. Hammond - The Golden Age Of The Hammond Organ 1944-1956 CD celebrates its golden era with 28 original recordings by the masters of the instrument. Any fan of organ music will enjoy this value-priced gem.
