Description

The Hammond tag refers to music prominently featuring the Hammond organ, an electric keyboard instrument known for its warm, growling tone and ability to blend jazz, blues, soul, and funk. Developed in the 1930s, it became essential to jazz-funk and soul-jazz through its rich harmonics and expressive use of Leslie speaker effects. The sound evokes smoky clubs and groove-driven performances where the organ serves as both melodic lead and rhythmic foundation.
