Our apologies to those of you who have been trying to find this blog for the past few days. For some reason the blog just disappeared and it's taken a day or two to figure out the problem. We've also lost the ability to post photos on the blog for the time being.
If you love music and are inspired by those connected to it, you'll love "Killer B3." "Killer B3" is a documentary film about one of the most complicated instruments in the world, the Hammond B3 Organ. This film introduces you to many influential and accomplished Hammond B3 musicians. Also, a look behind the scenes at the amazing technology used to create the Hammond B3 and the story of an aging and literally dying breed of B3 players makes "Killer B3" a must see project that is long overdue.
Joe Bamford and I (Murv Seymour) have been documenting the history and future of the Hammond B3 Organ for more than two years. Joe has over 15 years of experience as a videographer and editor and I have a 20 year background as a television reporter. We have an unstoppable passion to tell the story of the Hammond B3 and the people that breath life into this one of a kind organ.
From its name, you probably know nothing about the Hammond B3 Organ. But once you hear its screaming sound or see its unique table like legs, you'll never forget it. The sound of the Hammond B3 Organ can be subtle or strong and is present in gospel, blues, jazz, rock, reggae, soap operas, and many other styles of music.
Who's in "Killer B3" you ask? We're still in production, but so far we've received input from Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith, Jr., Dr. Lonnie Smith, Brian Auger, Tony Monaco, Reuben Wilson, Shawn Brown, and the list is growing.
We're in the early stages of putting the word out about "Killer B3." We definitely need the support of all Hammond B3 fans and music lovers. We're new to blogging, but are going to try and keep everyone informed about the progress of this great project.
We do have a website www.killerb3.com but as of 3/10/07 it is still under construction. In the meantime check out our youtube channel @ www.youtube.com/killlerb3themovie. Like Killer B3 on Facebook
Thanks for your support!
