Jon Hammond Host of New ASCAP RADIO NETWORK

JON HAMMOND Instruments: Organ, Accordion, Piano, Guitar Attended: Berklee College of Music 1974, City College San Francisco Languages: English, German Musician: Jon Hammond is one of the premier B3 PLAYERS in the world. Jon has played professionally since age 12. Beginning as a solo accordionist, he later played Hammond B3 organ in a number of important San Francisco bands. His all original group HADES opened shows for Tower of Power, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Michael Bloomfield. Eddie Money and Barry Finnerty became musical associates.

Moving East he attended Berklee College of Music and played venues as diverse as Boston's "Combat Zone" in the striptease clubs during the '70's and the exclusive Wychmere Harbor Club in Cape Cod, where he was house organist and developed a lasting friendship with House Speaker Tip O'Neill. He also toured the Northeast and Canada with the successful show revue "Easy Living", and continued his appearances at nightclubs in Boston and New York. Subsequently Hammond lived and traveled in Europe, where he has an enthusiastic following. TV/Video Producer: In 1981 Jon formed BackBeat Productions. Assisted by Lori Friedman (Video by LORI), the innovative TV show "The Jon Hammond Show" became a Manhattan Cable TV favorite.

Jon Hammond bio in Deutsch!


Jon Hammond wurde am 19. März 1953 in Chicago geboren. Sein erstes Instrument war das Akkordeon, mit dem er im Alter von 12 Jahren auch seine ersten Auftritte bei Partys in Berkeley in Kalifornien hatte. Bereits drei Jahre später gründete er eine Band, bei der auch zwei Bläser mitspielten. Danach ging es Schlag auf Schlag: Mit 18 Jahren kaufte er sich seine erste Hammond B3 und wurde Mitglied der Rockband "Hades" in San Francisco. Mit dieser Formation trat er im Vorprogramm von "Tower of Power", Michael Bloomfield, "Quicksilver", "Country Joe & The Fish" und vielen anderen Bands auf. Im Alter von 20 Jahren besuchte Jon das Bostoner Berklee College of Music. Er musizierte regelmäßig im exklusiven Harbor Club in Cape Cod und in Boston's "Combat Zone". Dies war ein legendäres Striptease-Viertel in Boston. Jeder Club besaß eine Hammond B3 und ein Drumset. "Continuous Entertainment!" war angesagt. Pro Stunde tanzten 3 bis 4 Mädchen (Jon: "...till completely naked...") - alles wurde nonstop live von Bands begleitet. Jon sagt über diese Zeit: "...Eine wirklich interessante Arbeit - ich lernte hier Dinge, die ich in keiner Schule jemals hätte erlernen können." In der Combat Zone trugen alle Musiker Künstlernamen. Anfangs nannte sich Jon "Jon Morgan...on the organ!" Nachdem er über Jahre auf der B3 gespielt hatte, wechselte er 1975 zum Künstlernamen Jon Hammond.
Mit der erfolgreichen Show-Revue "Easy Living" tourte er durch den Nordosten der USA bis nach Kanada, trat danach in Boston und New York auf. Später lebte und tourte Jon Hammond in Europa. Seine Entwicklung vom Rock zum Jazz erfolgte schrittweise. Erst 1981 fand der erste große Jazzauftritt von Jon Hammond statt - er spielte 56 Tage in Paris! Sein Stil ist jedoch nach wie vor tief verwurzelt mit den Stilbereichen Rock, Funk, East Bay Grease, Bossa Nova, Soul und Rhythm & Blues. Als musikalische Einflüsse benennt Jon: Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Billy Preston und Barry Finnerty. Als er nach New York zurückgekehrt war, gründete Jon 1983 die "BackBeat Productions" und baute seine Late Night Show auf. Die "Jon-Hammond-Show" läuft jeden Montag um 2.30 Uhr (nachts!!) auf dem Time/Warner Kabelkanal 16 von New York City. Unterstützt wird er dabei von Lori Friedman (Videoartist / Editor) und Barry Finnerty (Musical Director). Es ist eine "Funky-Swinging-Jazz-Blues-Instrumental-Revue" voller Drive mit eigenständigem Charakter, kombiniert mit aufwendiger Videoanimation. International bekannte Musiker geben sich in seiner Show die Türklinke in die Hand: Chick Corea, die Brecker Brothers, Les Paul,... Die musikalischen Einflüsse von den Crusaders, Miles Davis und Jimmy Smith sind spürbar. Ein Teil der Show nennt sich "Live on the Street" - hier präsentiert Jon Hammond per Video neue Ereignisse und Live-Music/Video-Clips z.B. von Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Butterfield, Jaco Pastorius, John Entwistle, Sammy Davis Jr., Percy Sledge.... "The Jon Hammond Show" läuft außerdem noch in San Francisco, Kalifornien, London, Auckland, Neuseeland und Tokio. Das "Billboard Magazine" bezeichnete die Jon-Hammond-Show als "Die Alternative zu MTV"! Am 2. Februar 98 wurde das 15-jährige Bestehen der TV-Show gefeiert. Im März/April 98 führte eine Tournee Jon Hammond u.a. durch Deutschland und Frankreich, bevor er zurück nach New York ging. Wer Jon Hammond live erlebt hat, weiß, daß er absolut in seiner Musik und seiner Leidenschaft für die Hammond aufgeht. Er firmiert unter dem Slogan "The Fingers Are The Singers" und zählt zu den schillerndsten Persönlichkeiten der New Yorker Musikszene. Mit dem Gitarristen Barry Finnerty (geb. 1951, spielte schon in der Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Bigband, mit Miles Davis, den Crusaders und den Brecker Brothers...) musiziert er bereits seit ca. 30 Jahren (seit der Highschool-Zeit in San Francisco). Zusammen haben die beiden zahlreiche Instrumentals komponiert, die sich durch eingängige Melodien und markante Grooves auszeichnen. Jon Hammond übernimmt mit der linken Hand auch gerne den Baßpart ("Ich habe nichts gegen Bassisten, aber sie sind immer im Weg - ich bin mein eigener Baßmann..."). Die aktuelle CD trägt den Titel "Late Rent". Jon bezeichnet die Aufnahmen als ein "akustisches Fotoalbum". "Die CD enthält musikalische Momentaufnahmen aus den Jahren 1981 bis 1995. Jahrelang spielte ich überall in den USA - in kleinen Clubs an der West- und Ostküste, bis hinauf nach Toronto in Kanada, in Deutschland, Frankreich, in der Schweiz. Immer wenn ich etwas Geld übrig hatte, nahm ich mit einigen Freunden ein paar neue Songs auf. Die CD spiegelt die Erlebnisse meiner Reisen und die Erfahrungen mit den Menschen, die mir begegnet sind, wieder - auch ein Hauch Bermuda- und Karibik-Flair ist mit dabei."
Durch die Verschmelzung von zahlreichen Stilelementen läßt sich seine Musik unter dem derzeit so aktuellen Begriff "Acid Jazz" einordnen. Jon liegt damit voll im Trend der Musik und der verstärkten Nachfrage nach dem "good old Hammond-Sound". Jahrelang plagte er sich mit dem Transport einer großen B3 ab. In seinem Appartement in Brooklyn steht noch heute ein Exemplar dieser wohl begehrtesten Hammond-Orgel (Baujahr 1959). Jon's "Schicksal" veränderte sich erheblich, als er 1991 eine neue, digitale Hammond XB-2 bekam. Er äußert sich begeistert: "Für mich stimmt der Sound absolut und jetzt kann ich meine Orgel überall mitnehmen und spielen - am Times Square, in Paris, London, L.A. oder auch auf der Frankfurter Musikmesse.". In der Zwischenzeit ist Jon auch Hammond-Endorser. Dieses Mitnehmen der Hammond nimmt Globetrotter Jon Hammond wörtlich. Er fährt sein Equipment auf einem winzigen Einkaufswägelchen, dem "Super 600" quer durch die Messen der Welt, durch Abflughallen, Bahnhöfe, öffentliche Verkehrsmittel usw. Jon ist gerne unterwegs ("I have lived one year in Paris, one year in Frankfurt-Bornheim and one
+ 1/2 years in Hamburg (St. Pauli) and now 33 years in Times Square, New York City...") und spielt überall auf der Welt, egal ob auf der NAMM Show, in Prag, in Bosnien. Dabei hat Jon Hammond nicht nur die Musik und seine Orgel im Kopf, sondern er ist zugleich auch Talkmaster, Jazz-Diskjockey, "Radio Personality" Reporter und Journalist seiner Show und so zeichnet er aktuelle Ereignisse per Video für seine Show auf. Jon arbeitet in Deutschland eng mit seinem Hamburger Sponsor, dem Journalisten Knut Benzner vom NDR zusammen. In Österreich ist er Ehrenpräsident der "Dr. Jazz Organisation".
Der deutsche Produzent Bert Gerecht überzeugte schließlich Jon Hammond, sein bewegtes Leben in Buchform niederzuschreiben, und so arbeitet Jon derzeit an der Fertigstellung des Buches mit dem Titel "Late Rent - My Life In Music Business" - ein Filmscript soll folgen ...

EFA CD 12823-2Hammondorgel im Handgepäck, bringt die absolute Vollbedienung in Sachen Orgel mit sattem Groove! Jedem New Yorker Musiker ist die ´Jon Hammond Show´ aus dem Kabelfernsehen ein Begriff!
Hammonds musikalischer Partner ist der Gitarrist Barry Finnerty, bekannt von Miles Davis, Brecker Brothers und Crusaders. Dieses Duo hat unzählige Instrumentals geschrieben, Songs mit markanten Grooves und eingängigen Melodien. Die Band ´Late Rent Session Men´ ist Treffpunkt von Vollblutjazzern wie Bernard ´Pretty´Purdie, Steve Ferrone, Todd Anderson, Chuggy Carter, James Preston etc. Hammond braucht keinen Bassmann, er spielt den Bass selbst, mit links, und an seinen Grooves kann sich so mancher Bassist die Zähne ausbeißen!
Seine aktuelle CD ´Late Rent´ ist ein musikalisches Fotoalbum mit Momentaufnahmen aus den Jahren 1981 bis 1995. Der Titelsong entstand aus einer Melodie, die Hammond immer am Monatsersten spielte, um den unter ihn wohnenden Hausbesitzer zu signalisieren, daß die Miete wieder etwas später käme... Diese starken Grooves mit hohem Wiedererkennungswert finden heute ganz besonders unter den Freunden der Acid-Jazz und Rare Groove großen Anklang!Everybody likes the screaming sounds of the good ol´ Hammond organ! JON HAMMOND, world-reknowned Jazz-Funk and Acid Jazz organist, host of well-known New York TV show ´The JON HAMMOND SHOW´, doesn´t cash in on the latest trends, he consequently has spent the last twenty years at the keyboard of his trusty organ.
His latest CD ´LATE RENT´ is a real showcase of the man´s stunning performance on the black and white keys. Equally stunning is the guitar work of Jon´s musical partner Barry Finnerty (Miles Davis, Crusaders, Brecker Brothers), who has also co-written many of the hard-rockin´ tracks.
Born in Chicago, Hammond played his first gig on the accordion when he was twelve and since then has played extensively on the rock, jazz and chitlin circuits, appearing at concert halls, jazz clubs and strip tease houses all over the world.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hammond´s music, a healthy mix of blues, jazz, rock, and R ´n´ B has crossed borders in the time spiral with the hip sounds of the Rare Groove Movement.

JAZZ MAN

JAZZ MAN

http://community-4.webtv.net/GoldenPenMan/JAZZMAN/

*cover article from Manhattan Plaza News June 2003

JON HAMMOND Jazz Man

Jon Hammond's story is one of survival. Survival as a jazz musician, survival as a Manhattanite. The organist-accordionist has survived because of perseverance, love of his art, tremendous humor, and gratitude. His new independently produced and marketed CD, HAMMOND'S BOLERO, which contains only music written by Hammond, is both a statement and a tribute. As his CD notes begin, "This record marks a new beginning for me, and I would like to dedicate it to all those who, like myself, are striking out on their own and going it alone. Don't be afraid to follow your dreams. I did and now this record is for you!" Following his dream at times has not been easy.

Take his living situation. Hammond is fairly new to Manhattan Plaza---a resident for just two years---and like everything else involving this multitalented man, there's an interesting story attached. "I'm living under a lucky star after years of putting up with all kinds of adverse conditions. Manhattan Plaza has been a great, great help for me." Living in the Clinton area, Hammond survived six ceiling collapses in his apartment and was finally driven out by sick building syndrome, i.e. poisonous mold in the walls. He realized it only after watching an epsode of 60 MINUTES. Did he sue? "No," he says. "Put it this way---the title song for my TV show is called 'Late Rent.' I used to pay my landlord partial payments, etc. so I never sued."

As a further testament to his Manhattan survival, Hammond is a nineteen-year-veteran of cable access with his own television show, aptly titled THE JON HAMMOND SHOW. Manhattan Plaza residents Todd Anderson (tenor sax) and Bill Warfield (trumpet) have been featured as part of the band. the show airs on Monday at 9:30 p.m. on channels 56 and 108 and various times on other channels. For more information, viewers can check Hammond's website, http://community.webtv.net/laterent/JONHAMMOND

But before the glamour of Manhattan, CD's, opening for Bonnie Raitt, and some other high-class gigs, Hammond paid his dues. Attending the Berklee college of Music in Boston in 1973, he earned money on the wild side. "I used to play in these Mafia striptease clubs seven nights a week. Boy, that was the end of an era. I was working for the Venus brothers, notorious gangsters, and I was the house organist at the infamous 2 O'Clock Lounge, the Mousetrap Lounge, The Hungry I---all these clubs that were in what was known as the Combat Zone in Boston."

And how did he get to New York? "Well, I knew a stripper named Didi Bangbang, a really nice girl. She knew I had a van. When you have a van, you get some interesting calls. She had a show at this burlesque club in New York so she said, 'Drive me and I'll introduce you to New York.' This was in 1975. She had wild props, like a plexiglass round platform with disco lights inside of it. We loaded everything in this army green van and drove to New York."

From New York, Hammond went on the road with a show band called Easy Living "It was one of the top show bands---this was before disco---and you'd get on the different circuits. We were in the $10,000-a-week bracket."

Just one problem. "I get the call for a really great gig, but it's always at the end. When you see me show up, it's a doomsday situation. The band toured for six months. We were in Toronto working at the Four Seasons Inn on the Park, one of the nicest hotels I've ever been in in my life. I was living like a king. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Well, they had installed a DJ booth---the first place we ever played with one installed. He played on our breaks. They would cross-fade, meaning we would re-enter playing the music he had been playing. But I could see the handwriting on the wall. The disco thing had not really come in and taken over yet---the very first tune that was a big disco hit was "The Hustle." "We had to do it with the band. That tune was like the death knell. Disco came in and the bands went out."

A musician's life involves a lot of travel, and that Hammond has done---back and forth throughout North America, from New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Cape Cod, and Toronto. "Around 1977, I ended up in Boston again. There I heard through the grapevine that Lou Colombo, the trumpet player, was looking for an organist for a private harbor club in Harwichport, Massachussets. Another great job. One of the members was Tip O'Neil, who became Speaker of the House, and I played all of his private parties. He was always very nice. That lasted for two years and then they reduced the nights."

In September 1981, Hammond fulfilled his dream of a lifetime---traveling to Paris on the Concorde. "I lived it out exactly as I saw it in my dream." Hammond recalls. "I had a haircut. I bought a dark blue suit. I bought a case that I still travel with today. Every man was wearing the same suit I was. As soon as the plane took off, I realized I was leaving the continent for the first time and I got very emotional."

Hammond stayed in Paris "as long as I could. I wrote music there. It was more than I hoped it would be. I swore I'd come back to live. I ended up in Europe for six years, actually in Frankfurt, going back and forth to the States, from 1991 to 1997." For being a consultant on the design, Suzuki gave him an XB-2 Hammond organ, which was a big help to him.

A career change occurred when he and his band were hired to play at the Jazzkeller in Frankfurt. "I went on a TV show to promote it," he recalls, "Later on, I took a cab to the club and there was a huge commotion outside. I thought it was due to a group playing an earlier set. I said to the cab driver, 'Gee, I hope they finish soon.' the driver said, "They're waiting for you.;" Though Hammond did very well in Europe, including a concert on Radio France, a trade war soon found american jazz musicians being cut out of European work. "I came home on Pakistan Airlines" the former Concorde passenger remembers. Hammond is used to the roller coaster ride of the musician---one day on tour with Percy Sledge, the next day coming home from France with $50.

Hammond recently returned from successful concerts in Germany at the International Trade show "Musikmesse" for the seventeenth consecutive year with his co-producer Joe Berger, of Ham-Berger-Friz Records, the producer of the CD. You got it. Hamburger/fries. Hammond's CD is currently getting radio play in Germany and National Public Radio stations in the U.S. Several manhattan Plaza residents are involved in the CD. On April 28, he had a launch party at Le Bar Bat.

Though only occasionally veering outside of the music world, Hammond did something unusual in 2001. "My mother called me and said, 'Jon, they're hiring at United Airlines.' I thought, what can it hurt to please my mother, I"ll apply. I did get an offer but I was unable to take it because it involved transporting luggage, and I couldn't do it because of my bad back. However, they then found out that I speak German. I was offered a better job in International. Now guess when I was supposed to start training? October 2001. Well, you know what happened to the airlines after 9/11, and you know what I said about getting a gig at the death knell. So this told me one thing, I'm supposed to be a musician." He's right.

Jazz Quad article: "Blues In The Moscow White Nights"




The story of my first concerts in Russia with Igor Butman (sax), Eduard Zizak (drums) by organist Jon Hammond (USA) for Jazz Quad

Coming to Russia to play in concert together with Igor Butman and Eduard Zizak recently, was one of the greatest experiences in my life/career! I was highly anticipating this journey for many reasons. First of all since my family originally came from Russia and Latvia many years ago, I had heard so many stories as a young child about the land and people I was about to visit. My grandparents were never able to return to Russia but when I arrived it felt like I was coming home.

From the beginning of my preparations I could see that this was not going to be any ordinary music tour! From obtaining visas it was apparent that the procedure was slightly different. I traveled with my girlfriend Jennifer on British Airways departing JFK to London and then from there we changed planes to Moscow. Upon arriving at Moscow SVO airport we quickly found ourselves among 20 persons who arrived with no baggage. There was nobody there to speak in English with from BA, so we had an interesting conversation and procedure with the official Lost and Found desk there and filled out the Baggage Irregularity Report papers. Leaving the customs area without our baggage we were very happy when we stepped out and saw a nice man holding a big Jon Hammond poster. We knew this was our man!
Luckily we came 2 days before the concerts and our bags were finally found and delivered to our hotel the next day.
Marat Garipov, the gentleman who came to pick us up, is one of Igor Butman's managers. Very nice guy and we had a great time speaking with him on the drive in to Moscow about his daughters and many shared interests. The traffic was very heavy coming in and it took about 1 1/2 hours to come in to Moscow, but we got a great first look at beautiful Moscow! What an incredible city...to me it looks like the Magic Kingdom that Walt Disney tried to recreate, only many of the buildings were built hundreds of years ago! Fantastic architecture.
When we checked in to the hotel, first we had to surrender our passports for some sort of official process. When we came up to our room on the 10th floor we found that we had a spectacular view of Red Square right outside our windows! The view was absolutely magnificent. Because it was the 3rd week of June, the days are the longest of the year and known as the White Nights. 10 at night looked like bright daylight! My first night I spent making many calls to trace our baggage and see about getting our passports back while my girlfriend slept. Finally back in posesssion of my instruments and our passports I was then very relieved and could really start enjoying the fact that I was really in Moscow!

The night before my first concert at Le Club, we were guests to attend the concert of bassist Alex Rostotsky and his fine group. We had a very enjoyable time dining and listening to Alex's music and got to meet him and his musicians later in the evening. We also had the pleasure of meeting Faina Antonova who is Igor's manager and also managing Le Club. She is very nice and took great care in arranging every detail of our stay in Moscow. I knew right away that we were in care of special angels. After a wonderful dinner/show and cappucinos at Le Club, Faina personally drove us back to our hotel, the famous Rossiya by Red Square. I was very tired by this point so I slept like a rock.

The next day was the big Friday of our first show. Most of the day I stayed in the room practicing my instrument and looking out at Red Square. Jennifer and I wanted to get to the club early so that we could get a sound check and settle in. Faina picked us up and we stuffed my organ and all our equipment in her compact car and off we went to Le Club in the Taganka Theatre Building.
When we arrived the big friendly doormen picked up my heavy cases like they were toothpicks and brought them up the stairs for me! Vladimir the sound engineer for the club was very smooth and professional, and a very nice guy. We got a good sound on the organ and then came Eduard Zizak the great drummer! I had already met Eduard in New York the week before when he was there performing with Igor's quartet at Birdland. Eduard is an incredible drummer and also a very nice guy. We made a little soundcheck and right away I could tell that he had listened to my music and we would lock up with some very tight grooves...no problem!
But where was Igor? I was hoping for a little mini-rehearsel with Igor but when I saw the public coming in to have dinner I knew it was too late for that! Igor arrived with his entourage and it was great to see him...he told me not to worry and apologised for not coming earlier. Igor is in big demand with a very busy schedule, so I am very lucky and honored that he could take the time to perform with me together even as his new cd album "Prophecy" was just released on the Universal Label.
We had time only for a 5 minute soundcheck and I showed Igor my book. This was going to be a very spontaneous performance, no doubt about it!
We decided to record it, and Vladimir did a fantastic job on the recording on their new digital recording console that they had just brought back from New York.
From the first notes I knew that this would be one of those magic nights I would never forget. The response from the audience was wonderful. I could only say in Russsian, "Ya LuBlu Vas"...which means, I love you all. And when I said the words to the people I got a great feeling back from them. First set was just fine and then on the break I was introduced to many press people and some fantastic local musicians. I was very honored that they all came to greet me. And then Igor proudly introduced me to 2 of the legendary jazz musicians of Moscow-accordionist Vladimir Danilin and guitarist Alexei Kuznezov. They said they had their instruments in the car and so yes we decided right away to make a live session together.
It was incredible from the first song on the 2nd set, playing together with these fantastic Moscow musicians! It felt like we had been playing together for 20 years. These musicians are some of the greatest I have ever heard and played together with. The audience was loving every bit of it, just as much as I! I was so happy that Vladimir was getting it all on tape and Jennifer was also running the video machine and taking pictures also. By the end of the night I was very satisfied with how everything went. Igor personally drove Jennifer and I back to the hotel in his nice car with fantastic sound system.
Great night!

The next day we got a nice tour from our friends Eva Steiner and her nice husband Leo from the Austrian Embassy. We ended the afternoon by having lunch in the Rossiya and I got to have my first excellent bowl of Borscht!
I excused myself afterwards to take a nap as I was quite tired and knew it would be another big night at Le Club. I had a refreshing sleep and then I must say that the shower at the Rossiya is the best shower I have ever had in my life! The shower head resembles a little Sputnick! The water comes out full force...no water saving there at the Rossiya. Wonderful.
This time when Faina picked us up we didn't have the organ with us. For the first time I left my instrument in the club because I could see the security there is excellent, 24 hours.
Already there were journalists at the club to meet. I was very happy to meet Cyril Moshkow. We had many e mails before coming and he is a very nice guy also and very serious jazz journalist. He is the president of the Russian Jazz Journalist organization. We had a nice conversation and Cyril took some pictures of the concert for his website. Also we met Igor Moskvichev from Russian "Hit Parade" magazine and Mr. Kumalo from the South African Embassy.

The Journey Home to USA from Moscow

After the 2nd successful night playing in trio with Igor and Eduard, we sadly said our goodbyes. But we are very excited about Igor coming to New York with his entire 18 piece bigband to perform in concert with Wynton Marsalis and Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra in September!
Igor sent us back to the hotel in care of one of his professional security men. We were very happy and relaxed with no fears in the Moscow night as we sped through the streets in a taxicab back to the Rossiya.
The following day we had a chance to do a little more shopping for souveniers and pack all the bags for our trip back to New York JFK.
Checking out from the hotel the reception people were very friendly and asked me to autograph my new cd "Hammond's Bolero" for them *link: www.cdbaby.com/hammond they called me Jazz Man. We enjoyed our stay there very much!

It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I am happy that we have professional recordings of the concerts with Igor, Eduard and our special guest musicians Vladimir Danilin and Alexei Kuznezov. We are talking about creating a live cd release from the concerts at Le Club.
As they say, we came to "Celebrate the diplomatic power of jazz" with ™ "Blues In The Moscow White Nights"!

Jon Hammond tries on a Russian hat at GUM

We went shopping in the famous GUM department store complex. Here I tried on a typical Russian fur hat. It is very warm in the summer! But good for winter I am sure.

Moscow White Nights...view outside our hotel window

This stunning view of Red Square from our hotel room window gave me the inspiration for the title "Blues In The Moscow White Nights" (like Blues in the Night) we played the song live on the Le Club sessions! 

Igor Butman & Gary Walker at WBGO

Very early on morning of Fri. March 5th, 2004 Igor and I met at Port Authority Bus Station and took the bus out to WBGO radio in Newark NJ. I was assigned to the task by Gary to bring Igor in time for a broadcast interview that morning. Gary was my initial connection to Igor so they are old buddies as you can see in this photo I shot outside of WBGO at 54 Park Place in Newark. I'll be returning to Moscow to play with Igor again this coming July. 

Jon Hammond and Igor Butman on Russian TV

Igor translates for Jon on Russian television as he speaks about how it is to be in Russia performing with Igor Butman. The power of the universal language of music has brought it all together, and Jon is explaining his wish to dedicate original composition "Soon I Will Be Free" to the peoples of Russia and the former USSR.
