His success in the 50s is unquestioned, and in the 60s he began utilizing his vocals more on a deal with Warner Records. But it is in association with the Hammond that we had most significance, able to wield the instrument with such versatility that he could accompany a soloist as well as imitate the sound of a big band.

It is also his personality that shines through, especially in this performance captured in Brussels in 1967 – he has a twinkle in his eye and an infectious grin as he dishes out his own brand of virtuosity on much-loved themes. The perfect way to reconnect with a musician who should never have drifted into obscurity.
