[Dixielandjazz] Hackett&Organ

[Dick Sleeman]

Listmates,

I own a double LP containing 24 songs played by Bobby Hackett, accompanied by Glen Osser on organ and piano. It is a re-issue by some French label and apart from the titles there are no further data. What I'd like to know is whether this organ is a so called electronic organ, as some of my friends say, or is it a pipe organ, like they had in movie theatres. If it's an electronic it's NOT a Hammond, more like a Lowrey. The sound is like the ones we had here in Holland, in movie theatres and radio studios. Come to think of it, 'Fats' Waller made also recordings on organ. Anybody?

Dick Sleeman, Lelystad, Holland.
