I think we might've traded a gig here or there We pretty much ran in different scenes. I know he's done a lot of stuff and whatever he does is always at a very high musical level. Rochester, NY. La E-Street Band non e' la stessa senza di te.

Riposa in pace, fratello" noblevibes. Joined: Jun Dan O'. I think Dennis Chambers can and has handled the touring for Santana for a few years. I have a few friends that jam with him when he is in town He is from Baltimore. No one knew who he was and I think Dennis likes it that way.

Distorted vocals and a short show. Joined: Jul Another point Haven't heard any discouraging words but when Roger Smith wasn't touring with Tower Montreal, Quebec. Ian Benhamou. B3 is such an integral part of Santana's sound I can't imagine not hiring one of the giants. You've got some major shoes to fill as an organist if you're going to sit in that chair. Very cool that they did Incident At Neshabur. I'm sure Freddy's piano solo in the last section was outstanding though.

I didn't even realise he was still part of the touring line-up -- he's been his longest-running keyboardist in that case. I remember how blown away I was by the first Santana album that featured him was it "Revelations"? Probably my favourite B3 player. Of course Rolie and Coster are amongst my top favourites as well.

I don't know who this Ravel guy is, but I'll take his namesake Maurice any day. Reason: typos. Lansing, MI. Jim Alfredson. I nominate tonysounds!!! Keep it greazy! Joined: May Wash DC Area.

As he was losing his keyboardist, Johnson asked Thompson to join the Rudy Johnson Trio and, at age 19, Thompson packed his bags and spent the next three years touring the country with that group.

He spent the next few years playing around the Bay Area, and landed a regular gig as the keyboardist with Jules Broussard, which eventually evolved into Thompson leading his own band.
