Info zu Plays Lawrence Welk's Greatest Hits (Remastered)
Eddie Layton was a demonstrator for Hammond organs, Layton was Mercury Records' star organist at the height of the Space Age Pop era. Layton's style of playing was somewhere between the stiffness Ken Griffin's and the wildness Julian Gould's. He wasn't too jazzy, but he was among the most technically proficient players of the Hammond, and could find little-known features and effects when he wanted to.
This was why Hammond retained him as a house performer for nearly 50 years. The company sent Layton around the world to demonstrate the instrument. Layton estimated once that he'd visited and played at over 700 stores in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Layton started studying music as a child, but he was studying meteorology in college when he enlisted in the Navy in World War Two. The Navy brought him in contact with his first Hammond organ, one sitting at the Naval Air Station in Linhurst, New Jersey. Layton figured out how to turn it on and play it, and after the war, he sought out the legendary Jesse Crawford for lessons.
