HEH, I GOT YOUR ORGAN RIGHT HERE.

On old mix at Funky 16 Corners got me going on a Hammond binge. Once I saw his mix Hammond Internationale did truly include international artists (Jackie Mittoo: Jamaica, Walter Wanderly: Brazil, etc) and knowing host Larry's taste, I found it odd that it didn't have Graham Bond (though it does have Brian Auger). Throwing a few additional songs down there allows me to re-post Graham Bond Organization's version of "Wade In the Water". It's so smooth. It fully swings, and it's got Ginger Baker on drums, his very first record. The second one down there by the Artwoods has as organist a pre-Deep Purple Jon Lord.

The mix is great. I've been listening to it for the past half hour or so. It's kinda cool because the songs are all different styles but the fact that they all have that Hammond sound kind of ties them together more cohesively then you'd expect.
