The Hammond Organ: An Introduction to the Instrument and the Players Who Made it Famous ReviewWhen I get a book on a subject of interest this is how I like it to be. Faragher's book delivers with a wealth of text, info, history, workings and personalities. He allows his own prefences to be known while keeping an open mind towards the readers' tastes.
Loaded with great photos throughout, both b&w and color, showing various model Hammonds, players, and clear internal and external shots of many Hammond and Leslie models.
This is not a "blue book" and does not give all specs for every model but provides applicable info for comparing (and selecting) between differing models. Thankfully, the author includes a section on Hammond's solid state organs and then on to past and current digital organs. I'm not a fan of digital organs but this addition is very welcomed with quotes direct from the creators and gave me a better understanding of differing approaches to the makers of digital organs.
The artist biography / discography takes up nearly half the book's pages and goes far and beyond the standard top-10 rock/jazz names. Here we get an introduction and more on many great but lesser known players (such as the great Walter Wanderley) covering a wide range of styles, although not as much on great gospel players as I would have liked or expected. No book / list can include everybody, so that's understandable.
Mark Vail's book "Beauty in the B" is also excellent, but if I had to choose I'd pick Faragher's book as first choice being there's simply more info to sink into and photos to pour over.
Kudos to the author, as well as the publisher (Hal Leonard).
