The Hammond SK1 is the first “Ultra-Portable” organ in its history, weighing in at just 15 pounds, and the first Hammond portable to feature a wide range of Extra Voices. The “Drawbar” section is a complete Hammond Organ with all the traditional features: Real Mechanical Drawbars, Chorus Vibrato, Touch-Response Percussion, and the most authentic Digital Leslie we have ever offered. “Vx” and “Farf” combo organ models are also available, as well as an assortment of fine classical Pipe Organ voices derived from our 935 Church Organ. Acoustic and Electric Pianos, Clavs, Accordions, Vintage String Synth, Wind Instruments and Tuned Percussion round out the specification. The SK2 model adds a second 61 note keyboard for added convenience-you may play the SK2 as a two-manual organ, or assign the Drawbar/Extravoice divisions to your choice of keyboard.

■ 11月1日(月) 晴れ この日は何故なのかトリプルブッキング。プライベートで日本に立ち寄られたジョン・ハモンドさん、日本ツアーを終えて帰国前の敦賀明子さん。そして、これもまた関西からの帰路に立ち寄られた田中光栄さん。何の脈絡もなく集まった3人にアフターファイブコンサートをお願いしてしまったのはスズキ楽器貿易の北米担当者だった。 |
ジョン・ハモンドさんはショービジネスの表舞台に出てくることは少ないが、フランクフルトメッセでは25年、ナムショーでもレギュラーのように演奏されているエンドーサーである。今回も鈴木会長に唯会いたいという一念で来日された律儀なお人柄です。 |
派手さこそないがベーシックな彼のオルガンプレイは聴く人に安心感を与えてくれます。セラピストの術中に入っていくかのように、仕事を終えた従業員たちの心を癒してくれました。 |

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.
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
and will until the very end.

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

early for day 1 of the 2011 Musikmesse kicking off on 6th April running through the 9th.
