I'm looking for some funky hammond recommendations. Rave ups like Small Faces "Almost Grown" and The Quik's "Bert's Apple Crumble" or funky soul perhaps with some flute in the vain of Jackie Mitoo, Lee Arab and Jimmy McGriff.

Thoughts?

Soul Toranodoes - Hot Pants Break Down. Best funky hammond tune there is

Edited April 2, 200916 yr by Tommy1

King Midas & The Shufflers - Tramp - Kenwic

Personally love "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Pts I and II" by Jimmy Smith (think it's on Verve?)..... on Part II, sounds like Smith's B3 is about to explode

This should probably be your first port of call.

Thanks for all the replies. These have all been added to my shopping list.

Found a clip of Soul Toranodoes - Hot Pants Break Down on line. Never heard it before. Brilliant.

Haven't found King Midas & The Shufflers yet. I have a couple Jimmy Smith compilations on CD but I'll be adding that to my vinyl list. I've known the Toussaint McCall track for a few years but never knew who performed it so thanks for that.

A big thanks to Godzilla for the link. That's a great website for information.

The Graham Bond Organisation, anything by him really, hammond jazz/blues at its best.

Samba Patrol by the Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited. It's a recent tune but well work checking out.

Juice Box -by the afore mentioned Jackie Mitoo

Jimmy's Place -Jimmy Thompson

My Sweet Baby - Dave Baby Cortez.

Love a bit of Hammond!!

Very "Champ".

Lil Ray - Soul Power

OOH OOH OOH, I would reccommend Henry Hodge "Sing-a-long with Henry", the flip to "i won't ever try to change" you on ZELL'S. Affraid it is a rare thing, yet it might be in refo-soul. For a quick listen/ oh and another powerhouse listen for the hammond enthusiastsis Billy Prestons version of "in the Midnight hour".

I love Hammond stuff

I would try The TKO's - The Charge some good organ work in there but the "B" side is called "can you dig it" & sounds like it could of been the Small Faces themselves - "Grow Your Own" style!

Detroit City Limits - 98 cents plus tax on Okeh - great deep organ sound

Drippers - Honey Bunch - on moon shot

Hank Blackman - Itchy Koo - Like Oo Ma Liddi by JJ Jackson but with different words & great Hammond!

James Brown - Who's afraid of the Virginia Woolf (on Smash)& Choo Choo (which is B side of Prisoner of love on King records) are 2 istrumental tracks featuring James brown on organ

Junior Walker - Brainwasher - great organ & sax stuff on here

Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll & The Trinity are worth checking out for some great Hammond stuff

Hope this helps
