HammondCast http://www.hammondcast.com/ Youtube http://youtu.be/dzLq5VlmxzM Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Bailey_(musician) Donald Orlando "Duck" Bailey (March 26, 1933 – October 15, 2013) was an American jazz drummer.[1][2] Donald Bailey, Sr., known to many in the jazz world as "Duck", was born in Philadelphia into a musical family. Bailey was a constant student and disciple of the jazz genre. Unbeknownst to his brothers and sisters, Bailey's father, Morris Bailey, Sr., was also a drummer. Donald's brother, Morris Bailey, Jr., is also an arranger, composer, producer and saxophonist and Bailey's nephew is the bassist Victor Bailey, best known for his work with the group Weather Report. Bailey got his big break in the jazz world and he is probably best known as the drummer in the trio of jazz organist Jimmy Smith from 1956 to 1964 and also for his work with The Three Sounds on Blue Note Records.[3] Bailey also worked as a sideman for some of the most famous musicians in jazz including Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Hampton Hawes, Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard, and Red Mitchell. He also played with John Coltrane in their early Philadelphia years. Bailey is also known as "The King of Organ Trio Drummers". In the mid 70s, he moved to Japan where he lived for six years and in 1978, released an album called "So In Love" (Trio Records) which featured Hideo Ichikawa (piano), Hideyuki Kikuchi, Yoshio Ikeda (bass), Takaaki Nishikawa, Toshihiko Ogawa. This jazz album, featuring Bailey playing harmonica, received rave reviews and is a sought after jazz collectible. His last project "Blueprints of Jazz Vol.3 featuring Donald Bailey" which featured Charles Tolliver (trumpet), George Burton (piano), and Odean Pope (tenor, tenor saxophone) was issued on the Talking House record label in 2009. Bailey performed around the San Francisco Bay Area[4] in the United States until his late 70s and moved to Montclair, California shortly before his death at age 80 in October 2013 Donald Orlando Bailey, Sr. Born March 26, 1933 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S. Died October 15, 2013 (aged 80) Montclair, California, U.S. Genres Jazz Occupations Musician Instruments Drums, harmonica, trombone Labels Blue Note Associated acts Jimmy Smith Hampton Hawes Blue Mitchell Jimmie Rowles Carmen McRae Sarah Vaughan Albums Donald Bailey Blueprints of Jazz - Vol.3 (Talking House, 2009) Produced by Marc Weibel, Stephen Smith Featuring: Donald Bailey (harmonica, drums), Charles Tolliver (trumpet), George Burton (piano), Odean Pope (tenor, tenor saxophone) Plant Life (Composer Odean Pope) Blues It (Composer Hasaan Ibn Ali) Gone Now (Composer Tyrone Brown) Variations (Composer Morris Bailey, Jr) Fifth House (Composer Odean Pope) For All We Know (Composer J.

Oktober wurde als Tag der Deutschen Einheit im Einigungsvertrag 1990 zum gesetzlichen Feiertag bestimmt.[1] Als deutscher Nationalfeiertag erinnert er an das Wirksamwerden des Beitritts der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik zur Bundesrepublik Deutschland am 3. Oktober 1990, mit dem zum selben Zeitpunkt Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und ThĂ¼ringen sowie Berlin als Ganzes Länder der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurden[2] und die Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands vollendet wurde. English: The Day of German Unity (German: Tag der Deutschen Einheit) is the national day of Germany, celebrated on 3 October as a public holiday. It commemorates the anniversary of German reunification in 1990, when the goal of a unity of Germany that originated in the middle of the 19th century, was fulfilled. Therefore, the name addresses neither the re-union or union, but the unity of Germany. The Day of German Unity on 3 October has been a German national holiday since the reunification in 1990, when the German reunification was brought out in full force. 3 October is a legal holiday of the Federal Republic of Germany. An alternative choice to commemorate the reunification could have been the day the Berlin Wall came down—9 November 1989, which coincided with the anniversary of the proclamation of the German Republic in 1918 and the defeat of Hitler's first coup in 1923. However, 9 November was also the anniversary of the first large-scale Nazi-led pogroms against Jews in 1938 (Kristallnacht), so the day was considered inappropriate as a national holiday. (See November 9 in German history.) Therefore, 3 October 1990, the day of formal reunification, was chosen instead and replaced the "Day of German Unity" on June 17th, the national holiday of West Germany. — with Joe Berger and Heinz Lichius & Jon Hammond Folks, please send out your most powerful prayers and positive energy for dear long-time special friend Klaus Maier, Michael & Martina's Father (center) is in immediate need of divine intervention, in my prayers here in Germany, thank you - Jon Hammond Organ Group all of us - Jon Youtube http://youtu.be/vFTUAv9Tg_I North Germany - Blip TV http://blip.tv/jon-hammond/peter-and-siggi-s-house-party-concert-jon-hammond-band-6655398 L to R: Joe Berger, Nicolai Ditsch, Jon Hammond Peter and Siggi's House Party Concert in Germany - Jon Hammond Band plays "Get Back in The Groove" from Jon's album "Hammond's Bolero" - first time on the band on drums: Nicolai Ditsch, Joe Berger guitar, Jon Hammond Organ Group http://www.jonhammondband.com/news.html Lydia, Return To Hamburg, Auster Bar, Bossa Nova, Jazz, Hammond organ, Jon Hammond, Heinz Lichius, Joe Berger, Klaus Maier, Prayers, Local 802, Musicians Union

Mal auf der Musikmesse Nomen est omen. Der Mann heiĂŸt Hammond und spielt eine Hammond. Der Organist aus New York freut sich auf Frankfurt und lädt zur Musikmesse Warm Up Party am 9.4. in den Jazzkeller ein. JOURNAL FRANKFURT: Was war fĂ¼r Sie zuerst da - die Frankfurter Musikmesse oder Auftritte im Jazzkeller? Jon Hammond: Die Musikmesse. Ich kam 1987 zum ersten Mal nach Frankfurt, zusammen mit Joe Berger, der auf der Messe fĂ¼r Engl Amplifiers spielte. Wir flogen mit der Lufthansa ein und teilten uns ein Zimmer im berĂ¼hmten Prinz Otto Hotel am Hauptbahnhof. Schon in der ersten Nacht stellte mir Joe den groĂŸen John Entwistle, den Bassisten von The Who vor. Es wurde eine lange Nacht, in der wir Cognac tranken und ErdnĂ¼sse knabberten in eiern Suite des Marriott Hotels. Ich habe Joe bei einer Session mit John und Ringo Starrs Sohn Zak Starkey im Dorian Grey Club gefilmt bei einer Soundcheck Party. In den ersten paar Jahren spielte ich nicht oft live weil ich noch keine transportierbare Hammond Orgel hatte vor 1991 als ich den Prototyp einer XB-2 Hammond Orgel bekam mit der ich dann um die Welt reiste. Hauptsächliche dokumenierte ich aber die Messe fĂ¼r meine Cable TV Show in New York, die inzwischen im 29. Jahr als The Jon Hammond Show -- Music, Travel and Soft News präsentiert. Die harten Nachrichten Ă¼berlasse ich CNN und den groĂŸen Networks (lacht). Vom ersten Jahr an fĂ¼hlten wir uns der Musikmesse eng verbunden, haben seitdem eine tolle Zeit hier, kommen jedes Jahr wieder bis wir kleine, alte Männer sind. Das Jazzkeller-Konzert am Vorabend der Musikmesse ist zu einer netten Tradition geworden - wie kam es dazu, was bedeutet es Ihnen und wir werden Sie dieses Jahr diesen Abend im Jazzkeller zelebrieren? Ab 1991 lernte ich mehr und mehr Musikmesse-Menschen kennen und die mich und auch einiges von meiner Musik. Einige von ihnen ermunterten mich, doch auch fĂ¼r Auftritte nach Deutschland zu kommen weil es hier doch ein Interesse an Hammond-Orgel-Groove-Music gab. Mit der schon erwähnten, kleinen, kompakten aber sehr kraftvollen Orgel war das alles möglich. Zudem machte ich in New York gerade eine schwere Zeit durch, mein Vater war gestorben und ich hatte das GefĂ¼hl, einige Veränderungen könnten meinem Leben gut tun. Also kam ich nach Frankfurt mit meiner XB-2, allerdings mit einem RĂ¼ckflugticket falls etwas schief gehen wĂ¼rde. Ich rief viele Musiker an, lieĂŸ sie wissen, ich bin jetzt da, lasst uns zusammen spielen. Das war fĂ¼r mich der Anfang einer langen, sehr speziellen Beziehung, vor allem zum Frankfurter Publikum nach ersten kleinen erfolgen im Jazzkeller und einer kurzen Auftritt im Hessen Report im Fernsehen. Beatrix Rief verdanke ich dieses "lucky light on me", eine tolle Erfahrung. Seitdem nenne ich Frankfurt "My Good Luck City" und im Jazzkeller begann auch alles fĂ¼r mich als Musiker. Deshalb liegt mir der Club auch so nah am Herzen, deshalb hatte ich auch die Idee, meine "Musikmesse Warm Up Party" dort zu realisieren, immer in der Nacht bevor die Messe startet was zu einer schönen Tradition wurde. Im ersten Jahr, in dem ich dann auch ein wenig Sponsoring von Philip Morris bekam, konnte ich damit einige Flugtickets fĂ¼r befreundete Musik bezahlen. DarĂ¼ber war ich sehr glĂ¼cklich. Dabei rauche ich selbst gar nicht. Wie wĂ¼rden Sie Ihr persönliches Verhältnis zu Deutschland und Frankfurt beschrieben? Lassen Sie es mich so sagen: ich liebe Frankfurt und die Frankfurter waren immer gut zu mir in all den Jahren. Ich könnte ein ganzes Buch Ă¼ber die Zeit schreiben, in der ich in Bornheim wohnte und Nacht fĂ¼r Nacht in der alten Jazzkneipe in der Berliner StraĂŸe auftrat. Das war der Treffpunkt, wo auch die Musiker der HR Bigband hinkamen und es gab eine generöse Chefin in der kleinen Kneipe. Auch Regine DobberschĂ¼tz und Eugen Hahn im Jazzkeller waren wahre Jazzengel fĂ¼r mich, die mir so vieles ermöglichten in der Zeit. Wir konnten auch in den Studios von AFN Radio spielen, waren die einzigen Musiker, die das - mit einer Sondergenehmigung des US Militärs - durften. FĂ¼r ein wenig Promotion fĂ¼r die Musikmesse. Wir nannten das Programm fĂ¼r die AFN "Profile TV "-Show "Sound Police". Wir hatten viel SpaĂŸ. Kein Wunder also, dass ich Frankfurt als my home away from home begreife und ich mich jedes Mal wieder freue zur Musikmesse zu reisen, in diesem Jahr Ă¼brigens zum 27. Mal in Folge. Und ich bin diesmal besonders aufgeregt, heim nach Frankfurt zu kommen weil ich gerade 60 Jahre alt geworden bin. Wer wird in diesem Jahr zum Gelingen des Konzertes mit teils komponierter, teils improvisierter Musik, so nehme ich an, beitragen und was fĂ¼r einen Sound wird die Band präsentieren? Ich habe etwa 90% der Kompositionen geschrieben, die wir spielen werden. Es ist die Musik, die man auch in meiner New Yorker TV-Show hören kann und die mich mehrmals um die Welt getragen hat. Meinen Stil nenne ich "Swinging Funky Jazz and Blues" und featurert die ganz wunderbaren Solisten in meine Band: Tony Lakatos, den groĂŸen ungarischen Tenorsaxophonisten, der auch Mitglied in der hr Bigband ist, dann meinen alten Freund Giovanni Gulino, diesen tollen Schlagzeuger, der schon fĂ¼r fast alle GroĂŸen der Szene getrommelt hat. Ich liebe diese Jungs. Als Gitarrist ist mein alten Freund und Kollege Joe Berger dabei, den man auch als The Berger-Meister kennt. Auf diese Formation bin ich wirklich stolz. Werden Sie im Jazzkeller wieder eine Hammond Orgel spielen? Ja, sicher, das neueste Modell, eine Sk1, die exakt so klingt wie die legendäre B3. Ich liebe sie. Und sie wiegt nur noch sieben Kilo (Anm. des Autors: Das Original, ein echtes Möbel mit viel Holz, mussten immer zwei Menschen mit viel Muskelkraft die Treppen rauf und runter hieven), ein deutliches Indiz, dass wir in der Zukunft angekommen sind. Da stecken viele Jahre Forschung und Entwicklung drin, auch BĂ¼hnenerprobungen. Ich ziehe den Hut vor den Ingenieuren von Suzuki, ein unverwĂ¼stliches Instrument erschaffen zu haben. Und das unterziehe ich jetzt einen echten Härttest (lacht). 27.
