@nospam_gmcguirk: "'been away for a while, so I don't know if this is old news, but in the June 
issue of Keyboard Mag, Steve Winwood gives a nod to "Scott Hawthorn, a.k.a 
Scott the Organ Freak".  Check out the sidebar on page 50.. "Steve Winwood's 
best kept secret".

Well THANKS y'all! I confess I often forget to read this group, but
Glennster tipped me off thanks Glennster. (That's your name, right?)
What happened was, Jimmy Smith and a bunch of other jazz organ masters
started to play bass on the organ in a new way it wasn't all about
the pedals, though that was part of it. The actual technique used was
quite complicated. When liner notes, and in interviews, the
jazz-egghead writers constantly referred to the brilliant "pedal
lines," Jimmy Smith encouraged their mistake. Why? Bercause he was a
grade A contrarain and enjoyed the misinformation, plus, he was
actually quite insecure, and jealously guarded what he thought was his
"secret."
Well, other masters like my teacher, Brother Jack McDuff, didn't mind
showing the right way to do it they had no such warped insecurity as
Jimmy's. What they couldn't do, or didn't care about doing, was to
write or even speak in an articulate way about it. Why would they?
They were musicians, not professors.
Then I found the internet. I saw that the widespread ignorance about
this was only being spread through the magic of the internet there
were bitter arguments going on about the technique, most of it BS. So
I resolved to set the record straight for everybody. It had pissed me
off that when I asked Jimmy Smith about this right to his face, he
gave me a load of crap. So then, I was lucky enough to be the first
guy to get on the net and write about this topic in an informative and
authoritive way. I haven't lacked exposure before Stevie weighed-in:
before the Tripod counter died, I was well past 32,000 hits! I never
got paid for any of it, but I am very satisfied that I got the word
out. Now I sell my columns to B3 Player Magazine, so I *do* get paid,
finally.
To this day, I get more private e-mails with questions and requests
than I can handle, and I enjoy friendships with people like Joey
DeFrancesco and Dr. Lonnie Smith. I knew McDuff, Groove Holmes and
Jimmy McGriff quite well too. I can't play anywhere near as well as
those world-class players, but I do swing hard, play good bass, and
thoroughly understand all the details of what's going on, plus I enjoy
trying to teach it to others. It's kind of cool to be acknowledged by
somebody with the stature of Steve Winwood!
