New Orleans Jazz Festival

[DQuave@aol.com]

I just returned from the New Orleans Jazz Festival.This year was the most
hammonds I've seen on stage in a long time.The last show I caught this
evening was Van Morrison.What a powerful,soulful singer 
even after all these years. Georgie Fame added a great deal of soul himself
on a great looking B-3 with two Leslies.They were miked with a SM-57 on each
horn.Couldn't tell what the bass was miked with.May not have even ben
miked.One thing was interesting about his setup,the organ and two Leslies
were all on a big platform with wheels that the roadies just wheeled out and
hooked up.
It sure was nice to go to the festival and not see Korgs,Roland,Ensoniq,
etc. all over the place.But to see real organs and pianos everywhere.Not to
mention how great it all sounded.
