- UPDATE JULY 2022 -- New 4K version of this entire song is linked at the end of this video:
Here it is if you'd like to see it now: • 4K -- EXTRA HOT STUFF ...
Seeing is believing. It looks impossible, but it's true, Barbara Dennerlein plays bass lines with her left foot that I couldn't play with my left hand.
Unlike many organists, she did not begin with piano. When she was 11 years old she began playing organ, including the use of the foot pedals. She took lessons for a year and a half from a teacher who played jazz himself. By the time she was 13 she was completely on her own in regard to her musical development.
Charlie Parker was her musical hero and biggest influence. While she respects Jimmy Smith's musicianship and his enormous contribution to jazz organ, she did not model her playing, sound, technique or musical approach after his.
Like Jimmy, she developed her own personal style and unmistakable sound. Her artistic sensibilities are closer to Larry Young than Jimmy Smith, but they are still very much her own.
In the 80's Jimmy Smith briefly moved from Hammond B3 to another make of organ, experimented with synthesizers and even played electric piano. In the 80's Barbara also began to experiment, but she took a different approach.
She integrated midi technology into her B3 keyboard and sampled an upright bass to give her bass pedals a more realistic sound.
This video is one small glimpse into her musical world, I hope you'll view the other clips on my channel, and enjoy clips by other great B3 players. My hope is that music is enjoyed as a celebration, and not a competition - it's art not sport.
Barbara Dennerlein, Hammond B3 Organ. Dennis Chambers, Drums. (Not shown on clip: Andy Sheppard, Sax, Mitch Watkins, Guitar.) Vienna, 1992

Barbara's left foot is faster than my right hand. Where have "they" been hiding her? This is a joy to watch. How, and I am guessing, the rest of us are wondering, has this lady been hiding? Absolutely amazing.
She's one of the most phenomenal musicians to have emerged in the jazz world in the last thirty years and yet she's been allowed to slip under the radar to the extent that she now has difficulty getting bookings anywhere outside of her native Germany. This uniquely talented lady should be seen all round the world.
May I ask how do you know that she is not getting bookings easily? I wonder why if that's the case, frankly. I agree that she is absolutely phenomenal jazz organist.
Paul James:If that is true that is a travesty.When this lousy pandemic is finally over promoters need to do all they can to get these truly talented real musicians out there.And we,the fans who enjoy this great music should go out & see them.They are worth the money.This lady is totally amazing.
During the interval of a gig she played in Berlin in 2004 I managed to grab a few words with her while buying some of her CDs and in response to my inquiry as to when she'll playing in London again she said that she had difficulties getting bookings in the UK. Since then I've seen her once at Ronnie Scott's and another time in a small venue in Manchester, but both of those shows were between ten and fifteen years ago and as far as I'm aware she hasn't played in the UK since.
German, huh? Hmmm, Germans are very beautiful
Boy oh boy Whatever. That's an understatement. This chick'll blow the stereo off the wall. With A-echelon talent like that she should've been on nitetime Network TV by now at least. Playing in coliseums to thousands & all that. Paired up with famous instrumental recording celebs. Surely.
The best part... she's flowing without the slightest hint of a struggle. I'm breaking a sweat just watching this.
gotta pinch myself to remember regular breathing pattern so I don't get spacey
Effortless as she is...... THAT'S when you pass from Good, Better, Great, Awesome.....to "OFF THE CHART!!" My!! My!!
I saw the year 1984 somewhere in the bio the first time I saw/heard her was last week. I have been playing drums since 1959 and she brings me all the joy of seeing/ listening to great Jazz in 2023 and it going to continue because of musician like Barbara
@@james-jg8iuFirst time for me was 10 minutes ago! This is nuts! Holy @#$&. Jazz isn’t my main thing, but I have no idea how I missed her.
As a keyboard player myself, I'm impressed of Barbara's skills. Pure genius. I'm adding this in my favorites list
My idol for so long was Jimmy Smith... and I really loved DiFrancesco when he came along. But this Lady of the Hammond B3 really kicks ass. Her footwork is perfect. Many a bass player would love to play her riffs that accurately. And she does it with her feet. She shows the prowess of the B3 in jazz and in concert. I wished she was here in the USA so I could go marvel at her musical genius.
I am glad somebody in the music world is keeping the sound of the Hammond B3 alive. This Fraulein kicks ass.
Yaaas. I love the B3 sound as who does not?
Magnificent.
I just logged on for a second to see this woman play, and she's great! One of the big problems with this internet, is people hiding in the shadows making questionable comments about artists that quite likely have 10 times more talent then they have. I've been playing full time for 40 years, and I'm no slack, but I couldn't play the way this young woman does. Please have some respect for the talent, and the awesome amount of work that she (and many others) did to get to this point of virtuosity!
Can't help from commenting again. I've seen this video a bunch of times over the past few months and I never get tired of it. This woman is incredible. It's like she has three separate brains playing three complex, individual performances. God, she's good. Unbelievable, really.
I had not even heard of this woman. Absolutely impeccable work. I NEVER get tired of hearing the improvisation of her right hand. Excellent melodic creation, excellent voicing and phrasing, just...brilliant. And ON TOP of that, she's improvising BASS with her left foot. Oh my gosh. I wanna jam with this woman and raise MY game. I both salute and bow to you, Ms Dennerlein. You have reached the pinnacle of your profession, and everybody in the world desires to make that claim.
See kids! THAT'S a virtuoso!
Pure genius.
Now that Joey has passed on. I nominate her to carry the torch of jazz organ forward to the world. Phenomenal player. 🙏🙏👍👍
I don't think I could even tap my foot for the entire song let along play something musical...Awesome!
Amazing. Never heard of her but she's my new favorite! WOW.
This my favorite Barbara Dennerlein video. Outstanding performance on every level.
Love her unique, instantly recognizeable percussion sound on the upper keyboard. I know it is MIDI-fied, she has the sound module right in front of her. Can it be that she has some synth patch added? Anyway: great phrasing, Barbara signature sound - high precision playing (her footwork - toes only - is nothing short of perfect). Who am I to judge/analyze/ramble??? Barbara: go girl, kill 'em!
Why is this wonderfully talented Woman NOT a worldwide Superstar?! She is phenomenal!!!
I just the love the respect this lady and others like her show for the music, the audience, the stage, the appearance and themselves. Been a lifelong musician, sometimes pro, and I am sick to death of tatooed, foul mouth, drugged out, drunken players of today and a few of yesterday's to be fair. Where have the good music and inspirational performers and teachers gone? Bless this princess.
Instramark You’re spot on! Cheers!
Yeah, but what does this have to do with tattoos?
@@rolux4853 lol this is such an old head comment. there's music out there for different emotions and people. i listen to the kind of music this person's knocking but I can also appreciate this
I always have to come back to this clip every so often. Barbara puts her heart and soul into her music. She has so much talent and she makes it look so easy. It is a pleasure to experience as a listener. And Dennis Chambers on drums is amazing as always.
B.B.
Same here DrummerDanVA, this is a clip I come back to time and time again.
Wow!!...what a fantastic player, never heard or seen this lady play before...I'm going to be looking for a lot more....truely exceptional, thanks for an educational upload, a no brainer 5*....
amazing. love that tone she has. Nice overdrive in the higher registers........
If most bass players could swing like her foot, they would be grateful.
i love coltrane, mclaughlin, cecil taylor, james carter, but for pure technical skill and swing, i gotta say it's Barbara over all.....
Wait until you hear her right foot!
As a pretty decent bassist myself, I agree. Her left foot swings way better than I can. She absolutely kills it. And that is just her foot. The rest of what she does, putting it all together, is mind-blowing. It's like she's an alien--it doesn't seem possible for a mere mortal to do what she does.
Well... I'm speechless. Utterly incredible. What a talent.
Just very gifted people. Brilliant.
Absolutely Astonishing ! She's .... way out there ...... Thanks
Absolutely Brilliant!! Wow!
Shocking beautiful!
Dennis Chambers did a remarkable work here (and not funky, but jazzy at its best with a bit of Afro Latin: awesome).
Organ/drumset improvised duet: I love it (feet power and monster brains: two persons playing like seven, composing in counterpoint in real time!)!
Too bad that it is cut (a real crime for me) !
All my admiration,
a drumset teacher and author.
Amazing! There is nothing like the sound of a Hammond B3, especially when played by a true keyboard master like her.
What amazing talent! She needs more public exposure. She needs to be on one of the late night talk shows like Leno or Letterman to be discovered by the mainstream. Coordinating those bass lines with her great playing is truly amazing! In my band, I do left handed bass and right handed keys, but I am blowl away by this performance! Thank you for posting this.
Now, that's the way I like to hear a Hammon B3 played. I have to see her live. What a treat!
Unfreakin'believable!!!
Wau!!!She's amazing!!
Great technique
Absolutely spectacular!!!
Astounding musician. As a B3 veteran, it's a pleasure to hear such execution and agility. God bless this woman and her incredible talent.
I saw her live tonight! She gave a concert in a small church in Brackenheim, Germany.
It was freakin' awesome - if you get the chance, go and visit her at a concert!
Supremely coordinated and so fascicle!
She is a new name to me, but I'll have to look for more. Absolutely phenomenal playing. There was a line about Led Zep's Jon Bonham, that he had a "crazy foot" when it came to his drumming(if you've heard him live it's amazing), but Barbara Dennerlein's left foot is absolutely Mad Hatter-insane. Even bass players are struggling to catch up to her here.
this performance is one of the best jams ive ever seen
Gra z prędkością ponaddźwiękową .Coś wyjątkowego. Dziękuję bardzo POZDRAWIAM SERDECZNIE ❤❤❤❤❤
She's the Queen of my weekend... I'll be searching for more Barbara. Dang, what a killer! SO glad I found her today.
I've watched this for years. It's something you just watch and admire as truly special.
Saw here once live in a student club in the early 90's and remember her playing the hammond organ like a devil. I almost forgot about her until I searched in youtube today. She is an awesome and underrated musician.
I never get tired of this performance, one of the most outstanding I've ever seen. You now understand why I am a huge fan of Barbara
Somebody's been PRACTICING!!! Wow! so smooth and with fancy foot work too!
I think I commented on this one already, but got again tears in my eyes from this performance.
Wow! An incredible tour de force!
Out of this world! She's amazing!
Very impressive. And I just caught that this performance was 21 years ago.
It also doesn't hurt that she is beautiful.
His working of the cymbal is excellent.
Moving and sublime, I love Bill Evans so much !! An excellent Jazz pianist, each note touches me enormously .❤
For me she's the best. She really created a new syle of Hammond jazz. And what a phrasing! Wonderful! Many thanks.
Fabulous!
What footwork!
OMG, what a gifted musician. Jazz is so smooth and fast without having to blare it like rock tries to do. Thanks for the post.
Wow! Have have I never heard of Barbara Dennerlein? This is amazing.
Her footwork is Absolutely incredible!
NO ONE PLAYS THIS INSTRUMENT AS COOOOOOL AS THE LADY AND SUCH A GREAT SOUNDING INSTRUMENT I LOVE IT
I'm still sizing up all the B3 players online - and I think she wins so far in technique. If there's anyone that I'd like to follow and I could only chose one person, she would be the one. Truly fantastic.
Thanks for posting and thanks for the history on Barbara!
Goosebumps! Barbara Dennerlein, Dennis Chambers and Andy Sheppard! This is so fuckin' awesome! I love their own works!
This video is great. Barbara is amazing!
Regarding bass playing on the organ,it depends on the sound you like.Some players have different experience,Jimmy Smith started by playing an old upright bass before playing the organ.He has a sound no one can match because it the sound of the Hammond Organ!
Amazing! What a talent!
one of the few videos on youtube I never get tired of watching.beguiling to say the least
My mind seezed watching.Can't begin to imagine playing like this.A true tallent byond this World.
We absolutely love it, give me more.
Wonderful !!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I'm so glad she took her own path. Show sounds amazing. She does not sound like every body else.
holy chit, that was fandamntastik. At first I had to double check to make sure my playback on videos was at 100% and not 125 or higher. It was at 100% alright. Wow she is totally awesome. Great job Ms Dennerlein. I loved it. 💋🌹
WOW !! Very happy to find someone playing Hammond at this level. How have I never heard of her ???
Now this is badass on a level not comprehendible
C minor for 24 bars then Ebm11 Dm11 2wice then G7#5#9 to turn around ???
@@jazzy872 what more do you need if you have this time and swing?
@@AndreasDelleske love this. just was trying to figure it out.
idk if i got it though 🤔
Meu sonho é ver Barbara tocando com um grande saxofonista do Brazil chamado Urbano Medeiros. Lindos!!!!!!!
Beijo, Prof. Chico Araujo
I saw her perform last night. Simply astonishing. Her spirit and vibe are also beautiful.
Amazing chops, fancy footwork, and rather lovely freulein, too!
I've been following this highly talented organist for years, but every time I watch this a thrill shrivers my spine, just awesome!
dennis is an amazing player - did sound for him several years at a clinic - very nice man as well
I first saw her in a keyboard player ad and when I heard her it blew my mind
Barbara Dennerlein is truly amazing. Wow.
Love this woman and her Talent, mind blowing what she does, Love her...!
That is freakin insane!!! She's got skills!!! Love it!!!
Amazing talent and ability.
Amazing, thank you for posting this unbelievable talent
Amazing talent!
Wow I am blown away with your talent . I was always fascinated by the B3 Hammond . And you do a superb job at it . This is the stuff I like to cruise down the highway in my old Cadillac with the volume up . I just shared this video on Facebook .
amazing on the hammond organ, and for me she has the best left foot bass play technik ever !
no doubt about it
Just saw Dennnerlein at the Dakota Jazz Club... jaw dropping amazing!!!
Hello Cindy
She's unbelievable!
Barbara borders on being a machine. I've never heard a human crank out this level of perfection. Every day I hear stuff like this and I'm not surprised I guess. She's so tuff. So what is the extent of this talent? WOW.
Best live performance from her on YT. Swings bigtime.
This is absolutely madness !!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh!!!!
Man!!!!she can swing!!!!!
She’s got my vote🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾😁
Rewelacyjna.dziękuję. POZDRAWIAM ❤
Ultra extraordinary and most masterful genius level talent , the joy she must feel having the skill to set herself that free 🎶
She's an absolute beast!
Some really hot swing jazz! Amazing only two on stage here. Simply amazing!
I tried to do the organ thing but as a kid keyboards and the bass foot pedal thing was too much for me.I do however own a b3 with a leslie .The foot pedal bass work that Barbara does blows my mind.INCREDIBLE!
Complete command of "The Beast" -Lovin' those midified bass pedals. Thanks for posting -Awesomely, Awesome!!!
She is superhuman.
A treat for the eyes and ears. Beyond words actually!
When Barbara plays, it really is "Very Hot Sufff".. Simply great!
OMG! She is so awesome, and the small vignette of the artist is not a bad touch. I do jazz art, and am a big Jimmy Smith, Joey DeFranco fan, but this woman has won my deepest respect! I am going right out and get her recorded stuff. Insane!
a true talent!
There is not enough organ to so many hands and foot!! Indeed, what a pedal footwork!! It's a beautiful thing to see: coordination hand-foot, technically perfect and above all, pure music!! Girl...you're on fire!! Take care of that Hammond it can burn...
Fabulous musician!! Talent extraordinaire!!!!
Wow! Loved it!
