Rhoda Scott on the Hammond Organ August 23, 2009

Hammond organ and personality -- A minister's daughter, brought up in the classical music tradition, and having attended Manhattan School of Music, surrounded by traditional Afro-American music, Rhoda allows herself with grace and joy to combine original compositions, well-known jazz tunes, classical music themes or French airs at the same time as certain Gospels or Negro Spirituals. Rhoda spent most of her career in France and is not such a household name here, but she “kicks ass” with the best of the jazz funk and jazz players of the early 70's

All of this comes from the essence of her personality and the unique characteristics of the Hammond organ, so original on the level of jazz music.
