Seven minutes of Barbara Dennerlein

Barbara Dennerlein, the German Hammond organ jazz virtuosa, is playing here a tune with her trio. Most of het tunes last 10-15 minutes. I choose about 7 minutes of Barbara's skills. The saxophonist is Rick Keller.
At age 11, Dennerlein began playing electronic organ . After starting organ lessons, she learned to play the two manual organ with a bass pedalboard. After one and a half years of lessons she continued to study without formal instruction. At age 15, she played in a jazz club for the first time. When leading her own bands, Dennerlein was often the youngest musician in the group, and she learned to cooperate with more experienced musicians. Her local reputation as the "Organ tornado from Munich" spread after her first TV appearances in 1982.
