- There's nothing like playing a bit of jazz and blues on a Baroque organ. Their snappy reeds, crisp action and chiffy voicing make it almost too easy! Here's an improvised Blues in E-Flat in the style of Fats Waller showing off this little organ's possibilities.

I’ve heard many people play blues on the organ, but let me tell you, nobody has ever done it better than you!
Absolutely. Fraser is the BEST!
Who says you can’t play jazz on a organ? I like it Fraser! Well played.
Oddly enough, this really worked. I had a professor in college who told me that if J.S. Bach had been alive today, he would have been a jazz musician!
This shows what a versatile instrument the organ is. Several different types of music can be playing on it
One of my favourite Gartshore 'tubes' and all without sheet music too ! Genius !
I have now a organ and when the priest is not here, I try something jazz improvisation because he doesn't like this style 🤣🤣🤣 and Fraser is a good teacher for this
My Father once played some Polka on an small Organ in an Convention when the Mother Superior came running and told him, that this Organ isnt'n there for this kind of Music :-D
Musical elitism at it’s worst I say!
Just A W E S O M E ! Baroque Waller is Blues in a shade that is wonderfully unique - beyond psychedelic and utterly intoxicating. I love it! And your look at the end says it all: this organ sample set only starts to exist when it realises music like this. Pure genius, Fraser!
And here I am playing Bach on Obervellach! I’ve got it all wrong. I need to play some blues 🧢
That organ sounds wonderful. I wish my Father was still alive to hear you play this organ, he would be in his glory. The sound is amazing. Well done sir.👍👍🇨🇦
As good as ever!! I like this soooo much. Mr Gartshore is just perfect. A delight. Thank you!!
Just keeps getting better and better. Bravo!
Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass Blues auf einer Barockorgel so genial klingen kann
Excellent, Fraser! I absolutely love Fats Waller!! So great to hear him making a comeback on your channel.
If you are looking for boring music, your on the wrong page. Very nice music.
Super! Must have been as amazing to play as to hear!
Perfect way to start my Saturday, jazz and blues on an organ whose builders might be bewildered at the music. Going to listen to you unbox this same organ tonight. Too much work to do during the day.
This is really bopping! Wonderful sound, and a very good level of compression for CZcams now! 😄👍
So many very nice moments in this video! Thank you!
Just wonderful Fraser. There are many fine organists on YT right now during this infernal pandemic, but none of them can do this as well. Play to your strengths mate.
Wow,,,Terry miles eat your heart out!!!!
I imagine a Chicago Dracula playing the organ at a Cubs game. Exquisite performance!

I like your thinking!
Truly amazing skill you have
Amazing musician !
You must have heard George Wright at some time; his version of “Honky-Tonk Train” on the mighty Wurlitzer comes to mind. This magnificent track just goes to show the type of instrument isn’t as important as knowing how to get the desired sound. The way you make that non-vibrato classical pipe organ sing the blues is inspiring! Bravissimo maestro!
Somewhere back in the mists of time, an ABC radio presenter played some restored 78rpm recordings of Fats Waller playing the organ in his father's church. Naturally he was playing it in own his special way. Your magnificent performance here took me straight back to that recording. I could not stop tapping my foot. It was "toe tappin' good". I love your Hauptwerk setup. I have one based on a ancient and dying Galenti organ. I am hoping to make the pedal board into a stand alone midi device. I have some red midi keyboards like those "D Minor and more" uses and would like to build a case to hold three of them in a similar fashion to your black beauty. Mike in Oz.
Sounds like a plan! Good luck building a new HW setup for yourself. I found using the Fatar keyboards with their own chassis supports made it much easier. Check out some of the earlier Hauptwerk Playlist videos - I go over all the bits and bobs needed.
Klasse Fraser ! 👏👏👏
This is a revelation!
Had me fooled.
This is unspeakably wonderful. Thank you so much for this. This really brightened my day quite a bit. You are amazing.
Why thank you dear sir! All a bit of fun to lighten up the weekend!
Super - 120% of pure energy => E=mc^3. Thanks !
tapping my feet to this great tune. Even began to feel my toes again!!!!!Well done Fraser
Good to hear! Get those toes tapping!
That's probably what Jesus did. He played some blues and made the paralized walk. :D
You are just absolutely FANTASTIC. I especially love that "there ya go" look you give us at the end. Thanks for the entertainment.
I think I’ve been watching way too many Liberace videos on CZcams - the cheesiness must be rubbing off on me!😂
@@FraserGartshore Funny, today I watched a Liberace video for the first time, and I had to think about you ;-) (how to play boogie-woogie ;-))
Wonderful; really made me smile!
Der Klang ist einfach wunderbar
Ach sehr schön! Passt besser zur Orgel als gedacht! Toller Blues :D
Super!
Amazing !
Opps, misread another post. I'll be listening to this again tonight anyway.
I know some priests that would excommunicate me if I played this at church 😄
Via the link, I read the very interesting history of this wonderful 1700 organ and listened to the 21+ min demonstration. Some really lovely stops here, and a big, bold Tutti ! 💪👍😊
(Interesting that there are no tierce/terz stops....)
Thanks for your improv.
I’ll be doing a detailed tour of this little gem very soon. The history alone is worth it! Piotr has sampled it beautifully - it’s my current go to for all things JSB!
@@FraserGartshore Looking forward to that. It's a shame that so much unnecessary harm was done to the original instrument by clumsy, unenlightened organ-builders. But it sounds great now.
Yes, the sampling is superb, I thought.
Wunderbar. Gibt es eigentlich Noten von den Stücken, die du hier spielst?
Klasse wie du improvisieren kannst, mein Respekt. Kannst du vielleicht Viper's Drag spielen?
-so! I'm liking this very much! Nicely done, Frasier!
But it makes wonder now - are there any suitable Hauptwerk versions of the Hammond organs? The draw bars would be a challenge - but I would think with the software a suitable Hammond console complete with slidable draw bars, leslie on-off, speed, etc. should be showing up at some point - should be able to sample each slide level, percussion, etc. - I could see where there might be some proprietary issues ...
There are midi solutions out there, nothing for Hauptwerk though. I will be demonstrating a Hammond one of these days - watch this space!
@@FraserGartshore you betcha I'll be looking for that one! Can't wait to hear your incredible boogie style ramped thru a Hammond - I predict leslie havoc/heaven! Maybe take a quick pass thru "Green Onions" - playing the ostinato in 5ths in the pedals (a great aerobic work-out!) with multiple attendant variations - of your own, of course!
🤔
This sounds like a Spanish organ 🤔🎹🎺📯
Wondering if you're near the flooding?
Thankfully we were spared the worst of the weather here in the Westerwald. The devastation was however very close by - only 25-30km away. We know some people who were affected - very sad.
Glad you and your wife (and that organ) are OK. I figured that if I asked here your followers would see it and not worry.
💯👍
Vollblutmusiker xD
besser geht nicht Paul
Hi Fraser, what would you estimate is the cheapest price one can buy and build a little practice organ (one or two manuals and a pedal) for? Thanks!
I don’t know where you’re based, but if you want to build an organ yourself, Nico Goes (Gino Midi) in the Netherlands was my source of components. Say hi from me - he can help you out with anything you need.
@@FraserGartshore Very helpful!
klingt gut,,,swingt noch besser.....musste erstmal Oberfellach googeln,1700 gebaut,die lady.....beachtlicher sound......
