Robert Hunter ["Georges Montalba"] was the organist, performing on the lorin whitney robert-morton theatrical pipe organ in the now-defunct lorin whitney studios, an organ which hollywood used for various movie soundtracks [such as "The Ghost & Mr. Chicken"]. on this 1958 recording mr. hunter [RIP 2001] was accompanied by 2 percussionists which really makes this record stand out among the sea of organ records- rhythmmic accompaniment, who'd a thunk it? what a concept! alas, the original master tape of this performance was recorded over and no longer exists, so the only reissue [by Hit Thing Records in 2001] was from a specimen monophonic original pressing. the stereo pressing beats the pants off of the mono, AFAIC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
