International Hammond-Suzuki Jazz Artist JON HAMMOND recently stopped by Hammond-Suzuki USA HQ during his visit to Chicago. After a tour of the factory and offices given by Senior V.P. Dennis Capiga, Jon gave the A-405 and new Mini-B a workout in the showroom. Jon's swinging style was just the thing to cool off a hot summer day.

The look and feel of the mighty mighty B-3 is now available for every Church, Chapel, School, Stage, and Home. The Hammond “Mini-B” carries on the legend, offering the sound and response that has made music a grander place. No matter what style of music you play, no matter the denomination of your church, the Mini-B plays like tradition, sounds like tradition, and now, looks like tradition. The Mini-B is bundled with a special edition 100 watt Leslie model 761, built especially for the Mini-B which puts the power that you have come to expect at your fingertips. If you have to “go mobile”, no worries! The “heart” of the Mini-B, the single-manual XK-3c, slides directly out of the back with no tools in 5 minutes, and slides right back in when you come “off the road”. Unlike the traditional XK-system, the Mini-B is shipped completely assembled from the factory with 25 note pedalboard and matching bench. At a price that makes it affordable for everyone, you too can have a genuine brand new Hammond and Leslie with a comprehensive factory Warranty, and all the confidence that only a brand new organ can bring.
MINI-B Organ New!

Celebrating 25 Years Musikmesse 5 April 2011 Jazzkeller Frankfurt Party and Concert
Annual Musikmesse Warm Up Party in Jazzkeller Frankfurt hosted by Jon Hammond Band will be
celebrating 25 consecutive years performing in the International Musikmesse which is the biggest
event in the music lights and sound Industry.
Jon Hammond is very proud to announce the line up
and happy to return again to the world famous stage of Jazzkeller Frankfurt, the oldest jazz
club in all of Germany. Joe Berger guitar and Jon Hammond organ are both from USA, known
affectionately to their music friends as Ham-Berger (we're on a roll! Jon and Joe often say)
long-time associates and a fixture at many trade shows, as seen on the long-running NYC based
TV show "The Jon Hammond Show" now in 27th year.
Tony Lakatos the great Hungarian tenor sax star from Budapest, from the famous Lakatos Family of
Hungarian Gypsy music tradition going back generations. Tony is a lifetime member of the HR
Hessischer Rundfunk Radio Big Band and currently playing with Herbie Hancock. Tony is an artist
endorsee for P. Mauriat saxophones. Jon Hammond is extremely happy Tony will be rejoining the
band in Jazzkeller, along with another long-time musical associate, Giovanni Gulino drums from
Sicily Italy. Giovanni has been the house drummer for many years in Jazzkeller Frankfurt and
Jazz Kneipe, he also comes from a family of musicians, his brother Sandro is an outstanding
bass player. 20 years ago Jon was introduced to Tony and Giovanni by Regina Snilovic the owner
of the Jazz Kneipe, which is now closed, but formerly presented live music 7 nights a week.
Jon Hammond, Giovanni Gulino, Tony Lakatos 20 years ago in Jazz Kneipe Frankfurt
Tony, Giovanni and Jon were often the house band, by Jon played 207 gigs there with the boys,
often joined by other well known musicians in the after hours, including:
Attila Cornelius Zoller (June 13, 1927 – January 25, 1998) Jazz guitarist from Visegrád, Hungary
R.I.P., Stephen Ferrone drummer of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, AWB and Eric Clapton. The
music went on there often until 5AM in the morning, it was a meeting point for musicians
and new arrivals to the Frankfurt scene as well as old-timers.
Jazzkeller Frankfurt is a very special location and atmosphere with a very important history, a
favorite of musicians and jazz fans going back to Louis Armstrong, Art Blakey and The Jazz
Messengers, Chet Baker and many others.
Jon Hammond calls Jazzkeller his "Good Luck Room" and Frankfurt his "Good Luck City". This is
the place where Jon had his very first Frankfurt gigs, the 3rd of a series was a packed full
house after Jon Hammond appeared on the local TV program "Hessen Report" on RTL Plus Television.
Beatrix Rief moderator host of Hessen Report recommended Jon Hammond's show at the Jazzkeller
and ever since a tradition has been established, Jon Hammond comes back to play there very year
First lucky break for Jon Hammond in Frankfurt Germany appearing on Hessen Report RTL TV with big plug from moderator Beatrix Rief for upcoming shows at Jazzkeller. It was shot on a cold morning in Dec. 1991 in Venety's on Sandweg in Frankfurt. Special thanks: Beatrix Rief, Tino Pavlis, Frank Poehl http://www.HammondCast.com
From the time The Jon Hammond Band hits the stage of Jazzkeller Frankfurt for sound check
