~ The Muppet Show - Sax and Violence
Views: 227951 |  |  |  |  | "'Sax and Violence' is meant to have been a sax solo by Zoot for episode 102 of The Muppet Show. Before he begins his song, he doesn't want to play it, but Nigel talks him into it by threatening to get a new sax player.
During the performance, Zoot bl ...More ows small notes of music at a time, and halfway through the performance, Mahna Mahna shows up playing a bell and wildly hitting Zoot's saxophone and face.
A shot of Zoot blowing his sax from this number was shown at the very end of the It's the Muppets videos from 1993, and this same shot was used at the end of The Muppet Show reruns on Nickelodeon.
It was also used for the music of a montage on The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson.
A synthesizer version played over a montage of clips about antlers and horns in episode 124 of The Animal Show."

~ Very Hot Stuff - Barbara Dennerlein on Hammond B3 Organ
Views: 174821 |  |  |  |  | Seeing is believing. It looks impossible, but it's true, Barbara Dennerlein plays bass lines with her left foot that I couldn't play with my left hand.
Unlike many organists, she did not begin with piano. When she was 11 years old she began playing or ...More gan, including the use of the foot pedals. She took lessons for a year and a half from a teacher who played jazz himself. By the time she was 13 she was completely on her own in regard to her musical development.
Charlie Parker was her musical hero and biggest influence. While she respects Jimmy Smith's musicianship and his enormous contribution to jazz organ, she did not model her playing, sound, technique or musical approach after his.
Like Jimmy, she developed her own personal style and unmistakable sound. Her artistic sensibilities are closer to Larry Young than Jimmy Smith, but they are still very much her own.
In the 80's Jimmy Smith briefly moved from Hammond B3 to another make of organ, experimented with synthesizers and even played electric piano. In the 80's Barbara also began to experiment, but she took a different approach.
She integrated midi technology into her B3 keyboard and sampled an upright bass to give her bass pedals a more realistic sound.
This video is one small glimpse into her musical world, I hope you'll view the other clips on my channel, and enjoy clips by other great B3 players. My hope is that music is enjoyed as a celebration, and not a competition - it's art not sport.
Barbara Dennerlein, Hammond B3 Organ. Dennis Chambers, Drums. (Not shown on clip: Andy Sheppard, Sax, Mitch Watkins, Guitar.) Vienna, 1992
PS If anyone knows Rick Rubin, he should see this clip.
