  3. The Organist is Les Strand, organ playing compared to Strand's playing on Les Strand plays Duke Ellington on the Hammond organ (Fantasy). Also in the Encyclopedia of Jazz, Leonard Feather made a reference in Strand's Bio to "Made First Records with Coleman Hawkins on Peacock." The original Label for the sides Strand was on was Al Benson's "Parrot" label; Feather got the bird wrong. Peacock and Parrot were both based in Chicago, but Peacock was more exclusively a Blued R&B label, while Parrot did these genres plus Jazz.
