First time I've played organ live... pretty tough, given I had to solo on a 3 octave Alesis micron, but the sound was pretty good. I think the thing with organ is that it carries pretty well with any PA system.
About solo, it's a short tune I quickly whipped up just to jam on, did 2 chorus melody, and a quick improv A part. Thing is, I'm barely hanging on with the 16ths at this tempo, and it was a good exercise to push my speed limits a bit. I'm quite the improv part didn't totally collapse, since my jazz stuff is much slower than this. Great mental workout trying to come up with phrases at this pace.
