http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc0z0vV4APk Joe Franklin Movie Folks, we played 15 consecutive years in the Jazzkeller Hofheim during the Musikmesse. Last year we noticed a lot of kids were hanging out in the parking lot or parkplatz and instead of coming in to enjoy the music, they were partying outside *see photo:

when we went outside and asked them to come in they actually became aggressive and we heard that they have also been busting car windows, sad to see. Well we had some good gigs there over the years and last year we debuted the incredible new Hammond Sk1 Organ keyboard there. I hope the kids will get better in time, sincerely Jon Hammond and Band *WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: Jon Hammond's Tribute to Joe Zawinul Mercy Mercy in Hofheim Germany http://www.archive.org/details/JonHammondJonHammond_sTributetoJoeZawinulMercyMercyinHofheimGermany Jon Hammond Tribute to Joe Zawinul and good JZ joke!

■ 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。

It opened its doors in 1961 at 147 Bleecker Street under the auspices of owner Fred Weintraub. The club changed its name to The Other End during the 1970s. However eventually after a few years the owners changed the club's name back to the more recognizable Bitter End. History An earlier club, "The Cock and Bull" operated on the same premises with the same format, in the late 1950s. The poet/comedian Hugh Romney (who later became known as Wavy Gravy) read there. During the early 1960s the club hosted Folk music "hootenanies" every Tuesday night, featuring many performers who have since become legendary. During its heyday the Bitter End showcased a wide range of talented and legendary musicians, comedians, and theatrical performers.[1] In 1968 Paul Colby, who began his career as a song plugger for Benny Goodman’s publishing company, and went on to work for Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and Guy Lombardo, became the manager and booking agent at The Bitter End, and in 1974 he purchased it.

Alternative To Clips On Cable by Kim Freeman Billboard Magazine March 19, 1984

NEW YORK---Year-old BackBeat Productions hopes to break new ground in the video medium with it's first project, "The Jon Hammond Show." Currently airing on Manhattan Cable's Channel 3 and San Francisco's public access Channel 25, the program is a half hour of computer generated graphics synchronized with original jazz-fusion and rock music. Hammond's voice and his tapping boot are the only human intrusions during the show.
"It's an alternative to the conceptual and concert footage videos. We're delivering an art form." says the show's host, BackBeat's co-founder Jon Hammond. The company also functions as a label, and Hammond says the broadcast will be a vehicle to expose artists on the BackBeat roster.
Hammond say's he's close to securing slots on public access channels in New Orleans, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston and plans to recoup investements by syndicating the show to national networks if and when it gains an audience.
His partner in the venture is former Crusaders guitarist Barry Finnerty, who wrote the music for the first program. All songs on the "Jon Hammond Show" feature BackBeat's studio band of Finnerty, keyboardist Hammond, drummer Steve Ferrone and saxophonist Todd Anderson.

Meet The Incredible Sk1 Hammond with Michael Falkenstein and Jon Hammond

Filmed in Hammond-Showroom Karlstrasse 38
D-89129 Langenau Germany on April 19th 2011
"Meet The Incredible Sk1 Hammond with Michael Falkenstein and Jon Hammond"
First look at this exciting new keyboard product weighing in at 7 kilos, just over 15 lbs., it sounds like a real Hammond B3 organ with Leslie, or a full size grand piano, any type of famous vintage electric piano or synthesizer. This keyboard does it all and with original Hammond drawbars and it's feather light. Sk1 has a built in USB flash drive input, the keys are 'bullet proof' waterfall style keys that can hold up to extreme pressure of rockin' rock musicians, swinging jazz musicians and can even sound like a huge pipe organ. This film will blow your mind.

Jon Hammond broadcasting on pirate Radio Tomate in Paris France 1981http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Tomate
Radio Tomate était une radio associative française créée en 1981.
Alors que tombe le monopole d'État sur la radiodiffusion, le Centre d'Initiative pour de Nouveaux Espaces de Liberté (CINEL), dirigé notamment par le philosophe et psychanalyste Félix Guattari, participe à la création de Radio Tomate qui a pour objectif une « réappropriation individuelle collective et [...] un usage interactif des machines d'information, de communication, d'intelligence, d'art et de culture ».
La radio est animée par des militants, notamment issus du mouvement autonome. Elle vise à ouvrir de nouveaux espaces de débat et d'information politiques, et à lutter contre la répression des mouvements sociaux. La première Radio Tomate ne dure que deux ans.
Le projet est ensuite réactivé en 1988, toujours sur le principe de donner la parole aux personnes en lutte. L'antenne émet sur le 106.7 MHz en région parisienne, et partage la fréquence, et donc le temps d'antenne, avec plusieurs autres radios. Radio Tomate anime à l'époque cinq émissions, sur les questions du droit au logement, de la précarité, de la double peine, des luttes anti-carcérales (Parloir libre), et une émission punk.
Lorsqu'émerge en 1991 le projet plus large d'une radio associative assumant une pleine fréquence, les animateurs de Radio Tomate décident de porter leur énergie sur la création de cette nouvelle antenne. Radio Tomate disparaît alors en 1992 pour donner naissance à Fréquence Paris Plurielle.

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.

SEIT 1952 WELSTARS "HAUTNAH"
Rückblick
Frankfurter Rundschau 1977, anläßlich Jazzkeller '25

...Seit 25 Jahren Mekka der Jazzfans: das "Domicile du Jazz"
...wie die Zeit vergeht, mal nachrechnen. Tatsächlich, der "Keller" ist so alt.

Eigentlich heißt er ganz vornehm "Domicil du Jazz", aber wer nennt ihn schon so, den Jazzkeller in der Kleinen Bockenheimer. Und heute feiert man dort die 25. Für uns scheint die Zeit stehengeblieben zu sein, denn hier haben jetzt andere ihr Zuhause gefunden. Junge Leute, zu denen wir keinen rechten Kontakt finden können. Sie werden nie ganz verstehen, was der Keller für Frankfurt und für uns bedeutet hat. Damals (1952), als sich für uns die Welt nur um den Jazz gedreht hat ... Wem haben wir nicht andächtig gelauscht - später aber, scheu zunächst, dann selbstverständlich unterhalten? An diesem Tisch dort saßen einst Frank Sinatra und Dean Martin. Mürrisch der eine Star, freundlich und redselig der andere. An dem Piano dort, ist es noch dasselbe? - schwitzte Horace Silver, in der Ecke hat Oscar Pettiford seinen Bass singen lassen. Mit Stan Getz, dem großen Musiker und bescheidenen, intelligenten Menschen haben wir hier unvergeßliche Stunden verbracht. An der Bar hat uns Trompeter Cat Anderson anvertraut, das deutsche Publikum verstünde mehr vom Jazz als die Amerikaner, er wolle darum lieber hier bleiben. Er fuhr dennoch heim mit Duke Ellington, seinem Chef, unserem Idol....

Die Atmosphäre im "Keller" war absolut privat. Die Musiker spielten ohne Gage, fürs Bier oder einen Whisky. Für die Jazzer aus Übersee war er ein Treff von Format.

Sie haben nicht alle gespielt, wenn sie hier im Club waren, doch sie beeinflußten das Klima und setzten Maßstäbe.

Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung 1992, anläßlich Jazzkeller '40

Man steigt in der Kleinen Bockenheimer 18a die neunzehn Stufen hinab und steht unvermittelt im unterirdischen Parnaß: im Gewölbe des Frankfurter Jazzkellers. Kein Jazzlokal in Deutschland ist älter als die vom Frankfurter Trompeter und Musiktheoretiker Carlo Boländer nach französichen Vorbildern eröffnete, zunächst "domicile du jazz" und heute nur als "der Keller" bezeichnete Kneipe. Kein Podium in dieser Republik kann sich rühmen, auch nur annährend so viele national und international bekannte Jazzmusiker beherbergt zu haben.

Mythische Orte wie der Jazzkeller bilden ihre eigenen Legenden. Zu den Legenden zählen auch die Auftritte von Musikern wie Louis Armstrong oder Dizzy Gillespie in den fünfziger Jahren. Im Keller sind zwar beide gewesen, wie Fotos belegen; der Bebop Trompeter Gillespie trat jedoch erst im Dezember '88 auf, nach dem der jetzige Inhaber, der Berliner Eugen Hahn, den Star engagierte. Der jetzige Chef Eugen Hahn hat aus den Gegebenheiten der 90er seine Konsequenzen gezogen, eine neue Programmpolitik mit jazzy-disco, und auch populären Jazzformen betrieben, außerdem auch die Stars - die Dizzy Gillespies, Chet Bakers, Archie Shepps oder Flora Purims - auf die Bühne geholt, dem Keller ein neues Publikum erschlossen und eine gewisse ökonomische Basis für die Zukunft geschaffen.
Dr. Wolfgang Sandner

Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung, August 1999
Unscheinbar ist er, der Eingang an der Kleinen Bockenheimer Straße. Unbedarfte Flaneure und Nachtschwärmer, die an späten Sommerabenden recht zahlreich durch die enge Gasse spazieren, werden kaum ahnen, daß sich im Untergeschoß des schmucklosen Geschäftshauses mit der Nummer 18a eine Frankfurter Institution mit Weltruf befindet. Wer dagegen weiß, was ihn erwartet, der entrichtet an der Abend für Abend immer aufs Neue mit einem Barhocker und einer einfachen Holzkiste improvisierten Kasse seinen Obolus, um dann auf einer steilen Treppe hinabzusteigen in eines der ältesten und bekanntesten Jazz-Lokale Europas.

Der "Jazzkeller" verdient seinen Namen. Das kleine dunkle Gewölbe scheint schon auf den ersten Blick wie der Inbegriff des "Clubs". Heiß ist es. Laut. Rauchig. Und stets voller Leute, die zu guter Musik und erschwinglichen Getränkepreisen den Abend ausklingen oder die Nacht zum Tag werden lassen wollen. Seit 47 Jahren ist das so - und so schnell wird sich daran auch nichts ändern.

Carlo Bohländer, Urgestein der Frankfurter Jazz-Familie, zog 1952 mit der damals noch sehr überschaubaren Szene in den Keller an der Kleinen Bockenheimer, die schon bald nur noch als "Jazzgass" in aller Munde war. Der große Louis Armstrong tauchte noch im Gründungsjahr auf (der Andrang soll so groß gewesen sein, daß Satchmo in dem Gedränge ein Glas Wein übergossen wurde), Dizzy Gillespie ließ sich ebenfalls bald blicken, und auch Lionel Hampton kam und spielte auf der kleinen hölzernen Bühne. Jede Menge Erinnerungsfotos und Zeitungsausschnitte an den Wänden zeugen heute von den Besuchen und Jamsessions von Roy Eldridge, Chet Baker, Stan Getz und Ella Fitzgerald. Selbst Frank Sinatra soll einmal kurz dagewesen sein. Und Albert Mangelsdorff hat hier unten sein berühmt gewordenes Quintett gegründet.

Das Publikum ist dem "Jazzkeller" immer treu geblieben, auch wenn der Club im Laufe der Jahre bisweilen kurz vor dem Abgrund stand und manche Wandlung mitgemacht hat - vom improvisierten Musiker-Treff zum professionell geführten Nachtlokal mit Konzert- und Diskobetrieb. Die Gäste lassen sich noch immer nicht in eine der gängigen Schubladen stecken - da sitzt am späten Abend der ermüdete, aber amüsierwillige Unternehmensberater neben dem zottigen Musik-Freak an der Bar, da tanzt das in die Jahre gekommene Szene-Girl ausgelassen neben der gutgelaunten Werbetexterin.

Gemein ist den Mitgliedern dieses bunt gemischten Völkchens nur ihre Liebe zum Jazz und der artverwandten Musik - und darum finden sie immer wieder den Weg in die Kleine Bockenheimer und steigen die steilen Stufen hinab in den ältesten Jazz-Club der Republik.

"Meet The Incredible Sk1 Hammond with Michael Falkenstein and Jon Hammond"
First look at this exciting new keyboard product weighing in at 7 kilos, just over 15 lbs., it sounds like a real Hammond B3 organ with Leslie, or a full size grand piano, any type of famous vintage electric piano or synthesizer. This keyboard does it all and with original Hammond drawbars and it's feather light. Sk1 has a built in USB flash drive input, the keys are 'bullet proof' waterfall style keys that can hold up to extreme pressure of rockin' rock musicians, swinging jazz musicians and can even sound like a huge pipe organ. This film will blow your mind.

Musikmesse-Session mit Jon Hammond Fr. 08.04.
Schon traditionell findet bei uns zur Frankfurter Musikmesse ein Treffen hochkarätiger Musiker statt. Wie auch in den vergangenen Jahren ist der aus New York stammende Orgelspieler Jon Hammond, mit Joe Berger „Berger-meister“, Peter Klohmann und Giovanni Gulino, angesagt.

Im Spiel geht Jon Hammond absolut in seiner Musik und seiner Leidenschaft für den guten alten Hammond-Sound auf. Mit 18 Jahren kaufte er sich seine erste Hammond B3 und tourte mit der Rockband Hades im Vorprogramm von Tower Of Power oder Michael Bloomfield. Ein regelrechter Genießer: Seinen Kopf wiegt er ständig von einer Seite zur anderen. Die linke Hand ersetzt größtenteils den Part eines Bassisten, zusätzlich zu den verschiedenen Klangfarben, die er manuell justiert.

Der Gitarrist Joe Berger gleicht einem Saiten-Hasardeur. Er spielte bereits mit Who-Bassist John Entwistle und sorgte in dessen Band für den Studio-Mix. Peter Klohmann ist ein junger talentierter Tenorsaxophonist. Giovanni Gulino ziseliert an den Becken, setzt genaue Akzente auf der Fußtrommel und spielt leichte, luftige Melodien auf der Snare.

R.I.P. Dear Phoebe Snow *here with Jon Hammond June 21, 2007 after Birdland NYC show

Phoebe Snow, Bluesy Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 60
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: April 26, 2011

Phoebe Snow, a bluesy singer, guitarist and songwriter whose “Poetry Man” was a defining hit of the 1970s but who then largely dropped out of the spotlight to care for her disabled daughter, died Tuesday. She was 60.
Enlarge This Image

Michelle V. Agins/The New York Times
Phoebe Snow in concert at Birdland Jazz Club.

Ms. Snow, who was nominated for best new artist at the 1975 Grammy Awards, died in Edison, N.J., from complications of a brain hemorrhage she had in January 2010, said Rick Miramontez, her longtime friend and public relations representative.

Ms. Snow’s manager, Sue Cameron, said the singer endured bouts of blood clots, pneumonia and congestive heart failure since her stroke.

Known as a folk guitarist who made forays into jazz and blues, Ms. Snow put her stamp on soul classics like “Shakey Ground,” “Love Makes a Woman” and “Mercy, Mercy Mercy” on over a half dozen albums.

Not long after Ms. Snow’s “Poetry Man” reached the Top 5 on the pop singles chart in 1975, her daughter, Valerie Rose, was born with severe brain damage, and Ms. Snow decided to care for her at home rather than place her in an institution.

“She was the only thing that was holding me together,” she told The San Francisco Chronicle in 2008. “My life was her, completely about her, from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed at night.”

Valerie, who had been born with hydrocephalus, a buildup of fluid in the brain cavity that inhibits brain development, was not expected to live more than a few years. She died in 2007 at age 31.

Over the years, Ms. Snow found time to sing on Paul Simon’s song “Gone at Last” and tour with him, as well as perform at the Woodstock 25th anniversary festival in 1994, as part of a soul act that included Thelma Houston, Mavis Staples and CeCe Peniston.

Snow was also recruited by Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen to participate in the New York Rock and Soul Revue, which took her, Charles Brown, Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs and others on tour and into the Beacon Theatre to record a rollicking live album in 1991.

“Occasionally I put an album out, but I didn’t like to tour, and they didn’t get a lot of label support,” she told The Chronicle. “But you know what? It didn’t really matter because I got to stay home more with Valerie, and that time was precious.”

She was born Phoebe Ann Laub to white Jewish parents in New York City on July 17, 1950, and raised in Teaneck, N.J. Though many assumed she was black, Ms. Snow never claimed African-American ancestry.

She changed her name after seeing Phoebe Snow, an advertising character for a railroad, emblazoned on trains that passed through her town. Snow quit college after two years to perform in amateur nights at Greenwich Village folk clubs.

Her first record, “Phoebe Snow,” came out in 1974, and showed off her songwriting chops on a selection of tunes that spanned blues, jazz and folk. The hit-bound “Poetry Man” took the record to No. 4 on the album charts, but her success was uneasy.

“There are turning points in everyone’s life where you decide if you’re going to sink or swim. My insecurity wasn’t serving me well at all. It was really a stumbling block,” she told The Associated Press in 1989.

Rumors abounded that Jackson Browne was Poetry Man. “No, no, it’s somebody you wouldn’t know. People just thought ‘Poetry Man’ was Browne because he was the first act I toured with,” Ms. Snow told USA Today in 1989.

After 1976’s gold-selling “Second Childhood,” Ms. Snow’s subsequent albums found smaller audiences. Through the 1980s and into the 1990s, Snow sang commercial jingles — for companies including Michelob, Hallmark and AT&T — and performed live here and there.

Inexperienced in the music business, she broke a number of contracts with record companies and others, and found herself involved in a number of lawsuits and had financial problems. Ms. Snow’s husband, the musician Phil Kearns, left her while Valerie was a baby.

She sang the theme for NBC’s “A Different World” and the jingle “Celebrate the Moments of Your Life” for General Foods International Coffees. She also sang at the radio host Howard Stern’s wedding to Beth Ostrosky in 2008 and for President Bill Clinton, who asked her to perform at Camp David during his presidency.
