Hammond Report January 14 2021 from Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organist & accordionist Jon Hammond, today's story playing a sound check with my band in the Ellington Room. One of my joys is playing sound checks, the cats first show up and first play down is always magic - my composition "Lydia's Tune" from my first album. I'm on records with all these cats, Chuggy Carter,

Hammond Report January 12 2021 from Pandemic Quarantino Jon Hammond - Daily Music and Stories from the organist & accordionist Jon Hammond, today's story about a steady gig I had with the late great Lou Colombo - trumpet player, bandleader, pro baseball player, golfer - an actual recording I made on the bandstand 43 years ago in the Wychmere Harbor Club in Harwich Port MA Cape Cod. It was an exclusive club where we played for members

Tip O'Neill

speaker of the house, Lee Berk the founder of

Berklee College of Music

my alma mater. I visited Louie a few years ago in Fort Myers FL where he played in his daughter's restaurant, and sadly just a few days later Lou was killed driving home from his gig there - RIP Lou Colombo! Frank Shea on the band here playing drums, yours truly at the Hammond B3 organ - my intro is my theme song Late Rent from my radio program HammondCast which ran for 4 years daily on CBS KYOU and KYCY 1550 AM.

What happened to the Hammond B3 played by Jimmy Smith shown in the catalogue? It was a rental, there were no organs there at the school,

it was a bust!

Jon Hammond visit with his piano teacher Tony Germain:
“So good to see my piano teacher main man Tony Germain 40 years later from the first day we met on Scheduling Day 1973, looking good Tony! Greatest piano and Hammond organ teacher folks! Tony taught so many players well and created the organ department (long story!) Chairing the PIano Department, (he has a nice chair in his office and superb Steinway Grand Piano) – if you are lucky enough to be a student at Berklee and get to study with Tony Germain, then you are living under the lucky star – Tony is the Man!! Thanks for everything you showed me Tony, straightened me out big time” – Jon Hammond
