Kjeld Lauritsen Hammond Organ Kjeld Lauritsen is one of the few remaining jazz organ players, who plays the big Hammond Org an with rotating leslie speakers and bass pedals. In his younger days he was a profile on the danish blues scene, which gave him a background similar to many of the original organ grinders. When he started his own jazz combo – The Organizers – with Bob Rockwell on saxophone, succes came immediately. 7 CDs with this group, 3 under his own name and 2 records with big-bands followed. In 2011 he released a CD with a 7-piece band playing homegrown compositions from jazz and blues to beyond. The title of this group is Hammond Organ 7. The Press wrote: “Who ever thinks of North European people thinks of cool people, the counterpart of Mediterranian people. But you did not know Kjeld Lauritsen, the hot jazz man at the Hammond. May be his attitude is friendly and restrained but you will experience a total different music: swinging, cooking, just a very active asset of the Danish jazz scene”. – Jürgen Wolf, http://www.iajo.org/ “Only very few people can play jazz on organ, but in Denmark we have a master Kjeld showed his excellent skills as an organplayer, that covers ground from the massive and agressive to the very subtle, underlined by his foot pedal playing. He is really fantastic at playing bass with his feet.” (from Aarhus Jazzfestival 2009) ”Hammond Time!” is a wonderful record that just makes you happy. It really swings, and Kjeld lift the heritage from great people like Jimmy McGriff in a sublime way.”

Kjeld Lauritsen Hammond Organ Kjeld Lauritsen es uno de los pocos organistas de jazz que quedan, que toca el gran Hammond Org an con altavoces rotativos de leslie y pedales de bajo. En su juventud fue un perfil en la escena del blues danés, lo que le dio un fondo similar a muchos de los organilleros originales. Cuando comenzó su propio combo de jazz - The Organizers - con Bob Rockwell en el saxofón, el éxito llegó inmediatamente. Le siguieron 7 CDs con este grupo, 3 bajo su propio nombre y 2 discos con big-bands. En 2011 lanzó un CD con una banda de 7 músicos que tocaban composiciones locales de jazz y blues. El título de este grupo es Hammond Organ 7. La prensa escribió: "Quien piensa en la gente del norte de Europa piensa en la gente guay, la contrapartida de la gente del Mediterráneo". Pero no conocías a Kjeld Lauritsen, el hombre del jazz caliente en el Hammond. Puede que su actitud sea amistosa y comedida, pero experimentarás una música totalmente diferente: el swing, la cocina, sólo un activo de la escena de jazz danesa". - Jürgen Wolf, http://www.iajo.org/ "Sólo muy pocas personas pueden tocar jazz en el órgano, pero en Dinamarca tenemos un maestro Kjeld que demostró sus excelentes habilidades como organista, que abarca desde lo masivo y agresivo hasta lo muy sutil, subrayado por su manera de tocar con el pedal. Es realmente fantástico tocando el bajo con los pies." (del Festival de Jazz de Aarhus 2009) "Hammond Time!" es un disco maravilloso que te hace feliz. Realmente se balancea, y Kjeld levanta la herencia de grandes personas como Jimmy McGriff de una manera sublime."
