The creative genius of "The Poet of the Organ",
By
This review is from: Jesse Crawford: Poet of the Organ; Wizard of the Mighty Wurlitzer (Hardcover)
This book on the "Poet of the Organ", Jesse Crawford, tells us everything about the master of the Theatre Organ. Those were indeed the days, my friend, and Jesse was the man! He played all the great theatres of the times, and became the darling of all who loved popular organ music. We learn of his love of music and the organ, his wives and children, and his final days as a teacher and lecturer on the Hammond Organ, "Music's most glorious Voice". His story is the story of Hollywood and the incredible Movie Palaces of the twenties and thirties; a time when the organ supplied the only sound there was for a movie, creating all the excitement from the many keyboards and pedals of the "Mighty Wurlitzer" Theatre Organs of the times. Truly this is a well written and in-depth study of the man, the music, and the King of Instruments, the Organ. 5 stars indeed! |
