*LISTEN TO AUDIO HERE: Jon's Journal SF County Jail Show HammondCast http://archive.org/details/HammondCast_17 Downloaded 3,749 times HammondCast 17, just back from Hamburg Germany where I recorded my new album, an official production of NDR Radio in Studio 1 with some of my all-time favorite musicians: Lutz Buchner (Sax), Joe Gallardo (Trombone), Heinz Lichius (Drums), myself-Jon Hammond (XK-3 Organ/Bass) and Engineer: Rudy Grosser in Studio 1 NDR Radio. I'll be playing some selections rough mixes (not so rough actually!) as my Christmas gift to the listeners, and speaking of Christmas...from inside San Francisco County Jail #8 "Pod E", a live recording of my trio's annual Christmas Prison Show with the great tenor saxophonist Larry Schneider & Ronnie Smith Jr. on drums along with myself on keys playing the Christmas classic: "Have Yourself a Merry Christmas". Every year I tell the ladies "And ya' better be good!" And from the Studio 1 NDR Sessions my original blues shuffle: No X-Cess Baggage Blues, some fine playing by Lutz on one of my favorite ballads: My One and Only Love and my theme song: "Late Rent". Special thanks to Knut Benzner of NDR Radio for co-producing these recordings now heard on KYOU Radio, 1550 on the AM Dial. Jon Hammond http://www.HammondCast.com "The FINGERS...Are The SINGERS!"...and the wind is blowing North by North East! Jon Hammond 2 very special jazz friends of mine this evening at Local 802 Musicians Union - Rudy Sheriff Lawless the great jazz drummer and beacon of inspiration - and Gina Reder aka Gina Jazz! Jon Hammond — at Associated Musicians of Greater New York, Local 802 AFM On the Night Before The Big Vote - Jazz is alive and well one week after Hurricane Sandy at Local 802 Musicians Union in New York City folks! This evening I played the early bird set with these great musicians, my all-time favorites here - L to R: The great Richard Clements jazz pianist extraordinaire, Mike Comoia the great veteran tenor saxophonist, myself Jon Hammond at the organ and one of the greatest jazz bassists in New York - Bob Cunningham, and he is a killin' vocalist occasionally and pianist as well - special thanks to Jazz Foundation of America *Note: Photo by Greg Bandy with my camera, thanks Greg! — with Bob Cunningham at Associated Musicians of Greater New York, Local 802 AFM Folks, I will be the #1 voter today at my polling place - got here 5AM, early shot so you know I am not messing around. In less than 45 minutes I'm going to be pulling the lever for President Obama and everybody in my building is also - I don't know one person who is voting for the other guy. NYPD is on the scene to make sure there won't be any hanky panky..this is the big day people! - Jon Hammond #1 Voter at my polling place - photographic proof - Jon Hammond *Note: The scanning machine is scanning my paper ballot at 6:13AM. It is a little bit tricky, supervisor said mine was A-OK and of course I voted for President Obama and V.P. Joe Biden, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Democratic early bird voter here in New York City - JH — at Times Square Get on down to your polling place and vote my fellow Americans! *Note: There is a tricky thing on the ballot - it says "Vote for any four" in one group of four. I had the supervisor come in and sure enough he told me that it is really "Vote for ONE of four" - he told me if I voted for all 4 it would invalidate my ballot. Take care to do it correctly folks. Jon Hammond — at Times Square Voting Day 2012 after-the-vote breakfast at the diner with Joe Berger and Jon Hammond the early bird voters in Times Square NYC — with Joe Berger at Theatre Row Diner Yea'!!! It's President Obama & V.P. Joe Biden Folks!!!
