Clifford Allen hat den niederländischen Organisten Herbert Noord interviewt
Organist Herbert Noord (b. July 26, 1943 in Amsterdam) is not a household name among followers of European jazz, but his contributions to modern creative music in Holland are well worth taking note of. He’s probably best known for appearing on the equally rare and excellent Soulbrass, Inc. record Live at the Bohemia Jazzclub (released by Stichting Jazz Werkgroep in 1969), with Hans Dulfer (tenor sax), Henk van Es (baritone sax), Arjen Gorter (bass), Rob Kattenburg (drums), and Steve Boston (congas). He also occupied the organ chair in the one-off ‘free fusion’ album Five Times Six (Cat Jazz, 1974) and has recorded with American saxophonist Harvey Kaiser and his countrymen Rinus Groeneveld and Fred Leeflang. Though retired from professional gigging, he has been convening informal sessions at the so-called “Hammond Cheese Warehouse” (a loft in a cheese warehouse) and posting the sonic results to YouTube (spoiler: they are heavy sessions). He also wrote an autobiography called Hammonditis, (2013) which at this point is only printed in Dutch. This interview was conducted over a series of emails in late 2019 and early 2020 – what started as an informal conversation grew into a much more far-reaching dialogue, and has been edited into this final form.

Hab natürlich noch nie von ihm gehört … es gibt ein Album aus den 80ern mit Paul Weeden (aus der Stitt-Band der Sechziger) und z.B. auch das hier:
