Jahrel is a proper Hammond B3 organ player. He explains bass pedals, different Leslie speaker models, drawbar settings, and how to cover up playing the wrong notes on stage. We also chat about pianos, Rhodes, Wurlys, synths, getting shot at after gigs, Casio keyboards, accordions, and much more. His style is best classified as warm and soulful. He prefers to use real organs and pianos on stage despite the rigors of transportation and setup. Jahrel is the real deal.
