I. Bill Heid - Bop Rascal (1996)
Path to become world renowned jazz musician is not necessarily through signing with major labels or high playing times on the radios; this applies to Bill Heid. While he may be well known in the U.S , he's virtually unheard of outside until he was chosen by the U.S State department as the U.S Jazz ambassador for the world and that's exactly how I discovered his music and, of course, his Hammond organ sound. I saw his performance as a trio with Patrick O'Leary ( Bass), and Michael Petrosino (Drummer). He's a natural musician who was inspired to play jazz and blues by listening to the radio, he played in both piano and organ groups and his organ playing is influenced by the like of Jimmy Smith Don Patterson, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff , and Dr. Lonnie Smith. He has recorded several albums under Black Magic, Fedora, and Savant labels and these are his second (Bop Rascal) and third (Wet Streets).
