I was lucky to start my Hammond life with great musicians from around this area, the Northern Rivers / North Coast of NSW. Mostly the recordings were live when I had an earlier model Hammond and were mostly recorded without a Leslie speaker system. The exception is really the newest one, Lee, Lee, Lee through both a Leslie 122, 147 close miked. Also on Ozanne I hired a Leslie 945 setup stationary (stop mode) with my Hammond simulator giving the rotation speed sound.

Ozanne - Fine Jazz Organizers live at LJC

Original by Pietro Fine. 2007/2025: a rewrite of a tune written on Lee Michelle’s grand piano in Melbourne. Davey Rankin took Pietro to a party and while playing Lee came up and offered to let Pietro play his piano anytime he wanted.

"Book of Notes" is a 2013 composition based on a pattern I scribbled into a note book in the middle of the night. It's a beautiful little leather bound manuscript book my daughter gave me a few years ago so I'd have something I could carry around to access easily whenever the inspiration took me. Thanks Hildy! The recording is the Fine Jazz Organizers: Azo Bell guitar, Jason Banister drums and Pietro Fine organ live at the Tatts Hotel in Lismore in July 2016.
