Gene Ludwig • Singles


Artist Biography by Dave Nathan
Gene Ludwig started performing professionally in 1949 at the age of 12. Born near Pittsburgh, PA, one of the major cradles of jazz artists, Ludwig was initially a pianist. He took formal piano training for more than 12 years. Then in the late '50s he saw Jimmy Smith perform at Pittsburgh's Hurricane Club, that city's mecca for the jazz organ sound. He put aside the piano and turned to the B3 Hammond organ and has been a steady performer for more than 40 years. Major events during this career include working and recording with Sonny Stitt and touring with Arthur Prysock. He has also appeared with guitarist Pat Martino. Ludwig has appeared at such major events as the Montreux and Mellon Jazz Festivals. He has cut albums for such labels as Muse and most recently for Loose Leaf Records. His long tenure as a performing artist has influenced other Hammond B3 performers, including Joe DeFrancesco.

Ludwig, along with other practitioners of the instrument, helped contribute to revive the popularity of jazz played by the B3 Hammond organ. Over the years, he has honed a recognizable jazz soul sound which he has successfully transferred to his latest albums. He has favored the organ quartet complete with a tenor sax player who combines his sone with that of the wide range and timbre afforded by the organ. This puts him four square in the tradition established by such organ/sax combinations as Richard "Groove" Holmes and Gene Ammons, Jimmy McGriff, and Hank Crawford and Shirley Scott with Stanley Turrentine. Ludwig continues to perform at jazz venues in and around the Pittsburgh area.

Biografía del artista por Dave Nathan
Gene Ludwig comenzó a actuar profesionalmente en 1949 a la edad de 12 años. Nacido cerca de Pittsburgh, PA, una de las principales cunas de los artistas de jazz, Ludwig fue inicialmente un pianista. Se formó formalmente como pianista durante más de 12 años. Luego, a finales de los años 50, vio a Jimmy Smith tocar en el Hurricane Club de Pittsburgh, la meca del sonido de los órganos de jazz en esa ciudad. Dejó de lado el piano y se dedicó al órgano Hammond de B3 y ha sido un intérprete constante durante más de 40 años. Los principales eventos durante esta carrera incluyen el trabajo y la grabación con Sonny Stitt y las giras con Arthur Prysock. También ha aparecido con el guitarrista Pat Martino. Ludwig ha participado en eventos tan importantes como los Festivales de Jazz de Montreux y Mellon. Ha grabado discos para sellos como Muse y más recientemente para Loose Leaf Records. Su larga trayectoria como artista ha influido en otros artistas de Hammond B3, entre ellos Joe DeFrancesco.

Ludwig, junto con otros practicantes del instrumento, contribuyó a revivir la popularidad del jazz interpretado por el órgano B3 Hammond. A lo largo de los años, ha perfeccionado un reconocido sonido de jazz soul que ha transferido con éxito a sus últimos álbumes. Ha favorecido al cuarteto de órgano con un saxofonista tenor que combina su sone con el de la amplia gama y timbre que ofrece el órgano. Esto lo coloca en la tradición establecida por combinaciones de órgano y saxofón tales como Richard "Groove" Holmes y Gene Ammons, Jimmy McGriff, y Hank Crawford y Shirley Scott con Stanley Turrentine. Ludwig sigue actuando en locales de jazz en el área de Pittsburgh y sus alrededores.
