HammondCast 22 Jon's Journal December 11 2012

*LISTEN TO THE AUDIO HERE: HammondCast 22 Downloaded 355 times Reviews http://archive.org/details/HammondCast_22 HammondCast 22 This episode of HammondCast on KYOU 1550 AM Radio features some historic recordings of Jon Hammond with radio & tv legend AL "JAZZBEAUX" COLLINS, this will blow your socks off! Al does a complete recitation of his Hipster version of "Little Red Ridinghood" accompanied by Jon on the Hammond organ live. Also radio host CHRIS CORTEZ talking about how Jon and Jazzbeaux almost blew up the transmitter for the radio station by plugging the Hammond organ directly in as a late-night experiment on the Bay Area station...wooops! All worked out ok, but the Chief Engineer and Station Manager were a little bit upset the next day. Going back even a few more years, Al Jazzbeaux breaks Jon's recording of "Sidewinder" on the now defunct but legendary and most powerful station of New York City-WNEW 1130 AM. For Al Jazzbo Collins freaks, this HammondCast episode is a MUST. Jon Hammond is a member of Local 802 & Local 6 Musicians Unions and an ASCAP Composer/Publisher-JON HAMMOND International, Inc.

Early in his career, Mabern played in Chicago with Walter Perkins' MJT + 3 in the late 1950s[1] before moving to New York in 1959. Mabern has worked with Jimmy Forrest, Lionel Hampton, the Jazztet (1961-1962), Donald Byrd, Miles Davis (1963), J. J. Johnson (1963-1965), Lee Morgan (1965), Hank Mobley (1965), Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery, Joe Williams (1966-1967), and Sarah Vaughan. In more recent years, he has recorded extensively with his former William Paterson University student, the tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander.[2] He performed in a video recorded session with Wes Montgomery in 1965 that is currently available on DVD as Wes Montgomery Live in '65. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Mabern led four albums for Prestige Records, performed with Lee Morgan, and recorded with Stanley Cowell's Piano Choir. Mabern has recorded as a leader for DIW/Columbia and Sackville and toured with the Contemporary Piano Ensemble (1993-1995). A longtime faculty member at William Paterson University, Mabern is a frequent instructor at the Stanford Jazz Workshop.

Jon Hammond Harold is wide awake, he is just reclining comfortably -just told us some killin' amazing stories about playing with Lee Morgan and he was with Lee when he died tragically / suddenly, you know the story - one of the most famous stories in Jazz, Harold was there playing with Lee that night, Jon Barry Finnerty · Wow. That would not have been pleasant. To have your good friend and great trumpet player shot dead onstage right next to you by some crazed jealous woman. Jon Hammond: You know it Barry! Jon Local 802 -- One of my favorite drummers and people - Ray Grappone and Jon Hammond here, at Monday Night Jazz Session. Ray is one of the busiest drummers and record producers in New York all the time, great to see him! Ray played on my first album on one of my biggest hits "The Sidewinder" track that got broken out on-air by Al Jazzbo Collins on the big 1130 AM WNEW - the whole Grappone Family rules! 5.0 out of 5 stars http://www.amazon.com/The-Sidewinder/dp/B0014NVNSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355193310&sr=8-1&keywords=sidewinder+jon+hammond By Tough Customer Fresh version of Lee Morgan's classic If you love Lee Morgan's great jazz hit song "The Sidewinder" (and who doesn't?) you should have a listen to this fresh version featuring jazz guitar and hammond organ quoting the tune of the deceased master of swinging bop, and doing some nice improvisations too. **A partial list of Ray Grappone's Record Credits: 2011 Two Sides Alexis P.
