Tim Neal
Tim Neal began playing
the Hammond organ in 1991 after returning from an overseas tour. He
sold his beloved Volkswagen to purchase an X-5 and leslie and began
gigging with it. It was from here that he discovered the music of
Jimmy Smith, Groove Holmes, Larry Young and the likes. Tim fell in
love with the infectious sound of the B3 and joined up with
Australian sax great Paul Williamson to form a band that has
released 4 CD's and gained a national reputation. Combined with
other projects Tim has travelled the country playing at most
festivals including Wangarratta, Melbourne International Festival,
Manly etc. One of Tim's career highlights was playing with Jimmy
Smiths rhythm section in Melbourne where Jimmy used Tim's B3,
signed it and gave him a lesson after his show! Tim's other credits
include Bobby Previte (USA), Big Jay McNeely (USA), Randy Crawford
(USA), Renee Geyer and his own big band and trio. In demand as a
session player at the same time maintaining a consistent schedule
of live work allows Tim to keep developing as a musician trying to
harness the powerful sound that is the B3 |
