The Juke Joint

I recently completed an assignment on Leslie speakers (shown on the left), the amplifier used hand in hand with the Hammond organ in jazz, soul, R&B (the real one) and sometimes appropriated for novel purposes by guitarists. To put it simply, it consists of a rotating sound source to add a "swooshing" effect (for lack of a more descriptive term) to the input signal. Some of my favourite players of the Hammond are shown below:



















Jimmy Smith:



Jimmy McGriff:



Booker T and the MGs:










The whole point of this post? Apart from the musical content, it is to showcase the exquisite sense of humour exhibited by my British lecturer in marking my assignment. Behold.
