In Jeff’s words:
My name is Jeff Lescher and I have been in two musical groups of some note: The Next Big Thing (1980-1983) and Green (1984 to present). The Next Big Thing was a Chicago group that played punk rock and opened shows for a number of the internationally known first generation of punk groups then touring in the U.S.: The Damned, The Dickies, Johnny Thunders, Angelic Upstarts, The Circle Jerks, Joe King Carasco and the Kings, etc., etc.I then started the group Green in 1984. We made seven albums, three E.P.s, and a couple of singles, of recordings of our original music and toured to various parts of the world to perform live. For my upcoming solo album recording, I realized that for too long I’d been missing the essential rock sound of the Hammond B3 organ. That instrument had been recorded on a few Green tracks, but whenever we tried different organ sounds, they were never “right.” My upcoming solo album will now have the essential, perfect, right sound! Thank you Hammond.
