Charles Rosenthal Theater Projectionist of IATSE 169 with Jon Hammond in newly refurbished Art Deco Rialto Cinemas Cerrito at at 10070 San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito, CA



El Cerrito CA -- Jon Hammond enjoyed the blockbuster hit movie "It's Complicated" starring Meryl StreepAlec Baldwin and Steve Martin with his Mom and Girlfriend Jennifer at the newly refurbished Rialto Cinemas Cerrito Theater at 10070 San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito last night.
Charles gave Jon a rundown on the complicated techniques he uses to do specialized archival screening implementing some of the latest state of art equipment used in providing captioning and descriptive narration for blind and hearing impaired audience members incorporating multiple formats of Film & Video with the latest DBX Audio.

The Cerrito has been lovingly restored and maintained in all of it's 1937 glory with the famous Art Deco blue glass mirrors etched with the goddess Diana, hunting with her bow in hand in the oval jewel box lobby. Deco chandeliers and sconces grace the ceiling and walls. *Notice Charles' custom t-shirt with Gazelles as depicted in the Cerrito's unique art.

Comfortable chairs have been provided along with new theatre seating and many with tables or counter for enjoying the excellent menu of food drinks and snacks, beer and wine will be coming soon!

Jon Hammond recommends Rialto Cinemas Cerrito Popcorn using real butter, or without for those on rrestricted low fat diets:

My Grandmother's Chair brought to you by Jon Hammond

My Grandmother's Chair brought to you by Jon Hammond

This is one of 4 kitchen chairs that belonged to my dear Grandma for many years. I used to sit my tuchas down on those chairs and enjoy her delicious soup and coffee cake she used to make for me. I have a lot of good memories in that chair, so when the back of it started getting a little shaky, but still firm on it's legs my Mom decided it was time to finally say goodbye to this one, now there is only one of the original 4 left.
I decided to bring this chair to a good neighborhood, maybe someone will adopt the chair and take it in to their nice home, so here you can see it sitting for the last time, I sat on it for a wile and remembered the good times in the chair and there it is folks, my Grandmother's Chair!
brought to you by Jon Hammond

Versierte Fingerflitzer / Experienced fingers Flitzer Kieler Nachtrichten KN-online: Jon Hammond Show bot im Blauen Engel leidenschaftlichen Hammond-Sound Henrik Drüner | kn | 27.03.2009 20:27 Uhr

Kiel – Er scheint die Einladung ernst gemeint zu haben. Vor dem Konzert drückt Jon Hammond dem verdutzten Rezensenten seine Visitenkarte in die Hand. „Hi, ich bin Jon, ohne h. Wenn du das nächste Mal in New York bist, komm vorbei!“
Kiel – It seems that the invitation to have earnest. Before the concert Jon Hammond puts the reviewer baffled his business card in hand. “Hi, I’m Jon, without h. If you have the next time you’re in New York, come over!”
Für den Weltenbummler sind Orte nur Stationen auf seinem Lebensweg. Chicago, Paris, Frankfurt-Bornheim, Hamburg-St.Pauli, New York. Die vielen Menschen und Musiker, die der Organist kennenlernt, bilden die Grundlage, auf der er seine späteren Referenzen, Anekdoten und Songgeschichten aufbaut. Und Jon kennt sie fast alle.
Das Konzert im Blauen Engel firmiert unter The Jon Hammond Show. Warum, spüren die Zuschauer bereits nach der ersten Ansage. Jon Hammond ist ein Showman, ein Dampfplauderer, geschult in Jahrzehnten als Radio- und TV-Moderator. Obendrein ist der 55-Jährige ein ausgezeichneter Organist an der Hammond Orgel. Mit der instrumentalen Jazz-Revue begibt er sich auf die Spuren von Miles Davis, The Crusaders und Jimmy Smith, immer nach dem Slogan handelnd: „The fingers are the singers“.
For the globetrotter only stations are places on his life. Chicago, Paris, Frankfurt-Bornheim, Hamburg-St.Pauli, New York. The many people and musicians who know the organist, are the basis on which his subsequent references, anecdotes and stories song builds. And Jon knows them all.
The concert at the Blue Angel trades under The Jon Hammond Show. Why, feel the viewers already after the first announcement. Jon Hammond is a showman, a Dampfplauderer, trained in decades as a radio and TV presenter. On top is the 55-year-old is an excellent organist at the Hammond organ. With the instrumental jazz revue he goes to the footsteps of Miles Davis, The Crusaders and Jimmy Smith, always acting under the slogan: “The fingers are the singers.”
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. Erst 1991 legte er sich eine digitale und leichtere XB-2 zu. Ein regelrechter Genießer: Seinen Kopf wiegt er ständig von einer Seite zur anderen, windet sich wie Stevie Wonder über seinen Fingern. Die linke Hand ersetzt dabei größtenteils den Part eines Bassisten, zusätzlich zu den verschiedenen Klangfarben, die er manuell justiert.
Nicht zu ersetzen sind die Musiker, die die Jon Hammond Show auf der Bühne komplettieren. Heinz Lichius trommelt wie in jeder seiner Formationen aufs Allerfeinste, der 26-jährige Sebastian Gille verblüfft anstelle von Gabriel Coburger am Saxofon mit feinfühligen, gleichwohl kraftvollen Soli und Gitarrist Joe Berger gleicht einem Saiten-Hasardeur. Auch wenn er nicht der ehemalige Who-Gitarrist ist, wie es die Veranstalter-Info weismachen möchte – zumindest spielte er bereits mit Who-Bassist John Entwistle und sorgte in dessen Band für den Studio-Mix.
In the game’s Jon Hammond absolutely in his music and his passion for the good old Hammond sound. At the age of 18 he purchased his first Hammond B3 and the band toured with Hades in the act for Tower of Power or Michael Bloomfield. Only in 1991, he is a digital and easier to XB-2. A veritable connoisseur: he weighs his head constantly from one side to another, winding up as Stevie Wonder on his fingers. The left hand is largely replaced the role a bass player, in addition to the various sounds, which he manually adjusted.
Not to replace the musicians, the show Jon Hammond on the scene complete. Heinz Lichius drums as in each of its formations to the very best, the 26-year-old Sebastian Gille perplexed Gabriel instead of Coburger on saxophone with subtle, though powerful solos and guitarist Joe Berger is like a string Hasardeur. Even if he is not the former Who guitarist, as it is the Organizer’s Info weismachen wants – at least he played with Who bassist John Entwistle and arranged for his band in the studio mix.
Ein Hauptmerkmal der Instrumental-Songs: eingängige Melodie und markante Grooves. Jon Hammond verarbeitet die Begegnung mit einem traurigen Mädchen in Paris oder dem tschechischen Salsa-König ebenso wie das nächtliche Wühlen im Hotelmüll. Neben Jazz-Elementen ist sein Stil tief verwurzelt im Rock, Funk, East Bay Grease, Bossa Nova, Soul und Rhythm & Blues. Bisweilen klingen die seichten Stücke, allen voran Duke Ellingtons
Satin Doll oder
Moanin’ von Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, wie auf einem Kreuzfahrtdampfer, aber die Protagonisten reißen frühzeitig das Ruder herum, indem sie mit Shuffle-Witz und Funk-Schweiß dagegen halten.
A main feature of the instrumental songs: catchy melody and strong grooves. Jon Hammond handles the sad encounter with a girl in Paris or the Czech King Salsa as well as rooting the night in the hotel garbage. In addition to jazz elements is his style deeply rooted in rock, funk, East Bay Grease, Bossa Nova, Soul and Rhythm & Blues. Sometimes the sound shallow pieces, most notably Duke Ellington
Satin Doll or
Moanin ‘by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, as on a cruise ship, but the early protagonists break the rudder around, they joke with Shuffle and Radio welding on the other hand hold.

Jon Hammond To Record Sessions On His Original Nakamichi 550...

Jon Hammond To Record Sessions On His Original Nakamichi 550 Dual-Tracer Portable Recorder

Hammond says: I bought the Nakamichi 550 new in 1976 at Harvey Electronics on W. 45th St. in NYC for $550, "They didn't call it the Nakamichi 550 for nothing!"

The machine is now being overhauled by California Historical Radio Society Vice President Scott Robinson, he is an expert Engineer and Dolby specialist. We are very excited about resurrecting the legendary recorder with state of art new microphones from Sennheiser and Superlux to record my upcoming sessions with studio drummer Bernard Purdie, we have a show coming up at the Winter NAMM trade show in Anaheim January 15th on the Hilton-Muzeo stage.
Nothing like the fat sound of the 550 with it's unique "Blend Channel" 3rd mic gives it a dimensional sound that is still unsurpassed in digital portable recording machines.
Jon also uses the Nakamichi in the field to record segments of his daily radio broadcast HammondCast on KYOURADIO on the CBS Radio Network now in 5th year, best 550 I ever spent says Hammond.

Bernard Purdie and Jon Hammond at Local 802 Musicians Union

We played a 5 night run at Mikell's with my mint condition Hammond B3 organ as Jon Hammond and The Late Rent Session Men
Bernard Purdie and Jon Hammond at Local 802 Musicians Union

I still have the B3 and custom built Bill Beer Keyboard Products Super Leslie in road cases for tours of Rolling Stones type epic proportions, but since it won't fit in to a taxi cab and or commercial airline situation, I tour with either my Hammond XK-1 or Hammond XK-3 organ and when I am on the West Coast to complete the vintage sound I use my 1965 Fender Band-Master piggyback amplifier with 2 x 12" stock Jensen speakers, it really kicks ass, Mr. H Ohno at Suzuki Hammond did an incredible job of designing a portable organ that faithfully reproduces the famous Hammond sound, and the warm sound of Leo Fender's tube amps completes the system to my satisfaction. It blows a lot of people's minds when they realize I'm not at the B3, but it has the same emotional impact, as I can see time after time when I play this rig in hospitals and nursing home situations.

What's old is new and what's new is old, I use the best of the new and the old to get the desired results.

Ben Fong-Torres Radio Waves ". One of them is Jon Hammond on most weekdays at 3 p.m. "The old-time spirit lives on AM again" says Hammond an organist accordionist composer and radio vet dating back to the late '50s on KPFA. "Recently I played in Shanghai and I could listen to my show in my hotel room at the Ritz Shanghai streaming crystal-clear on my Powerbook." In other words you can get better reception in China than in Chinatown.

Ben Fong-Torres is a freelance writer whose column appears every other Sunday."

M. Dung, whose "Sunday Night Idiot Show" was dropped from the new KFRC, despite being an oldies show, is continuing, but only online, at kyouradio.com from 6 to 8 p.m. Says Dung: "Not as cool as being on the radio, but better than nothing." Ditto Jon Hammond, globe-trotting musician and host of the excellent "Hammondcast," an hour of "funk, swing and soul" at 3 p.m. weekdays.

Tech Talk from Jon Hammond: Playing Hammond organ through Fe...

Tech Talk from Jon Hammond: Playing Hammond organ through Fender Tube Amps

 

Jon Hammond:
I own 2 Hammond B3 organs and Leslie speakers, unfortunately they will not fit in a taxi cab, so these days I play most of my road gigs using either my Hammond XK-1 organ or my Hammond XK-3 organ and I like to play them through my vintage Fender tube amps, I have 2 1965 Fender amps, a piggy back Fender Band-Master with stock factory 12" Jensen speakers and my Twin Reverb with original JBL Speakers option. The Twin was formerly owned by John McFee when he was in Clover and Flying Circus and at that time he had it maintained by Randall Smith of Prune who started Boogie Amp company. I purchased the amp in 1981, it still has Flying Circus stencil on top of the amp.
My Band-Master is now maintained by Scott Robinson who is Vice President of CHRS California Historical Radio Society.
I also have a 150 watt Music Man HD-212 hybrid amp that is a monster.
Jon's amps: Fender Band-Master Piggyback Amp:

Fender Twin Reverb with factory JBL Speakers

Jon's amps with Hammond XK-1 organ at home, always practice while watching TV and listening to the radio for independence real-world simulation, split the brain:

Jon's solo hospital performer set up with Hammond XK-1 organ and Roland 100 watt keyboard amp:

I play organ standing up for full-power delivery.

Puerto Rico's new standard-Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Be...

Puerto Rico's new standard-Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Beach brought to you by Jon Hammond LINK: http://community-4.webtv.net/laterent/PuertoRicosnew/index.html

Puerto Rico's new standard-Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Beach


Jon Hammond HOT Links


The $210 million Westin Rio Mar Beach, Puerto Rico

Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Beach raise the bar in resort luxury as published by Press Publications, March 14, 2001 by Jon Hammond Travel correspondent

Jon Hammond on assignment:RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico --

Destination: The Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Beach, Puerto Rico. No expenses were spared on the new Westin Ocean Villas at Rio Mar Beach. Created by the visionary founder of Reebok, Paul Fireman and Tishman Realty, these ultimately exclusive and well appointed resort accomodations are ideally situated nearby the Caribbean National Rain Forest, El Yunque. Surrounded by 500 acres of palm-lined beach front, the beautiful one-,two-and three-bedroom villas are connected by shuttle or short walk to the Tom and George Fazio Ocean Golf Coursce. As Marketing Director Larry Goldman put it: "Here we like to share the wealth. Every aspect of your vacation is prepared in advance, thanks to the personalized Online Conceierge Service designed by veteran hotel manager Philip Yu." Upon arrival at San Juan Airport, I was smoothly whisked away in a black Lincoln Continental, driven by well known percussionist Ralph Lopez. Lopez explained to me that Ocean Villas was now acknowledged to be the top of the line location anywhere on the island. Because Fireman vacations there himself, often accompanied by Reebok endorsed athletes such as the NBA Dream Team players and golf pros, it's nothing but the best for his guests. This includes, of course,The World's Largest Heavanly Beds (7 feet long), to accomodate the basketball stars. After a 25 minute drive from the airport, we were waved in by a guard. As soon as we entered the gates, I knew we had arrived in the closest thing to paradise. The giant Iguanas were unfazed by the black Lincoln. I lowered the window and could hear the sounds of the famous Coqui frogs and the surrounding tropical forrest. I was immediately struck by the palm lined beach and stunning landscaping. Reinhard Werthner, managing director/vice president explained to me that it was no accident that the beach was perfectly symmetrically lined with palms, beautiful foliage, sparkling clean sand and a uniquely designed Infinity Pool that appeared to extend indefinitely into the blue ocean. "It was a monster project to bring in the highest quality sand to build up our beach, plant the palms and foliage and the special attraction of our Infinity Pool," said Werthner with a wave of his hand. Originally from Germany, Werthner came to the Westin Corporation after spending more than 25 years managing exclusive hotels around the world for Hyatt and Marriott in Egypt, Germany, Manila, St. Croix, Palm Beach, San Francisco, New York and Chicago. He actually started his international career 30 years ago in Puerto Rico. "And so, with a combination of meticulous personal touches of a Bavarian 'Gast Haus' and the grandest flare possible with mega-corporation Westin & partners, all the finest dreams can be realized." he said." Dining: From casual outdoor to formal Four Diamond AAA Award in the Paleo, there are 12 restaurants on premises to choose from as well as theme lounges. The sumptuous breakfast buffet was amply stocked with excellent smoked salmon and fresl sliced fruits, juices, bagels, custom cooked omelets with seafood. Really fantastic. This same room in the villas is known as The Ocean Club. Lunch is served on the patio or in the air conditioned view room. At night, there is an amazing variety of grilled seafood creatively prepared. From the classic Ocean Club Surf and Turf to Blackened Sea Bass with Tropical Fruit Salsa, Seared Potato Crusted Red Snapper, a choice of fresh fish of the day cooked to order. The desserts were totally decadent. Every one of the restaurants at the Ocean Villas resort is different and a unique dining experience. It would take two weeks just to sample the on-premises foods ranging from Italian, Mexican, Asian, American, Sushi and Grilled Seafood. Every villa has a fully equipped kitchen with a convenience store in the lobby, stocked with everything from disposable cameras and film, and food items. The Ocean Villas Pantry is open around the clock. Room Service is 24 hours. Also noteworthy for dedicated golf players and tennis enthusiasts are the Har-Tru tennis courts and luxurious club house/pro shop connected to the Grille Room and one of the top two rated championship golf courses in the Caribbean, specially designed by Greg Norman, to conform to the curves of the coast line and flowing Mameyes River as it emerges from El Yunque rain forrest and meets the ocean. I had the signature 16th hole right outside my villa and could watch from my deck, the championship golf action. In addition to the beautiful River Golf Course, the Har-Tru courts and pro shop/Grille Room, there is a comprehensive dive shop, parasailing, kayaking on the Mameyes River, windsurfing and more. In fact, parents will be happy to know, there is a program for the kids from ages 4-12, called Club Iguana, which will keep children happy and active with supervised fun and educational activities seven days a week. There is even a water slide. There are several packages, such as The Caribbean Ultimate Unwind, and state-of-the-art corporate conference facilities, featuring the largest ballroom in the Caribbean. The friendly staff and management team go out of their way to cater to every imaginable detail and desire, 24 hours a day on the 500 acre resort. *For additional information, contact a travel agent or check the websites www.theoceanvillas.com and www.westinriomar.com for upcoming specials, or call (888) 625-4949.

Bob Popyk FOCUS column profiles AFM Member Jon Hammond



BOB POPYK of AFM's INTERNATIONAL MUSICIAN Magazine profiles JON 
HAMMOND in his monthly motivational column: FOCUS !
*LISTEN TO HammondCast 19 HERE:

http://ia311529.us.archive.org/3/items/HammondCast_19/HammondCast19.mp3



Focus
International Musician
Whatever Happened to Those Jazz Clubs on Every Corner?
I live in a city of about 250,000 people. Vinnie Falcone, a member of 
Local 369 (Las Vegas, NV) who played and conducted for Frank Sinatra, 
and now works with Steve & Eydie and Robert Goulet, used to live and 
work here.
That was about 35 years ago.
When he wasn't selling pianos for a local Hammond/Steinway dealer, he 
probably played in almost every club within a 20-mile radius of here 
at one time or another. There were tons of them.
Falcone and I talked about this just the other day. We came up with 
the names of the clubs that used live music five to seven nights a 
week. They could be found on almost on every street corner. Now they 
are all gone. Jazz groups, blues bands, singles, duos, and trios were 
always working; and if you came up with a new group you could, in all 
likelihood, find a club owner who would give you a shot. 
Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. It's tough to make a living 
as a jazz musician today. But É you can make a living if you work at 
it. Like most things, I think it's just a matter of wanting it badly 
enough.
One thing I've found out from the readers of this column is that 
musicians seem to be divided into two segments: 1) musicians who won't 
play anything they don't like or any venue that doesn't suit them; and 
2) musicians who need to work because they need to pay their bills and 
find all kinds of ways to fill their calendar.
I still get occasional letters from readers who say that it's not 
their fault that they are not getting enough work. I guess then the 
logical question would be: whose fault is it?
I really appreciate the insight of those musicians who have creative 
and interesting ways of finding work, and I sympathize with the 
musicians who need to get out there and find gigs just to pay the 
rent. I don't have all the answers, but a lot of our fellow AFM 
members have some very good answers.
One in particular is Jon Hammond, a member of Local 802 (New York 
City) and Local 6 (San Francisco, CA). Hammond has found a way to get 
his own TV show broadcast on Time Warner Cable and RCN cable access, 
he has produced a CD that gets airplay on jazz radio stations around 
the world, and he plays at Music Performance Fund (MPF) gigs on a 
regular basis on both coasts. He has booked himself on several 
European tours, played jazz clubs in Germany and many other locations 
in Europe, year after year, and has found a way to obtain instruments 
from national manufacturers for endorsements, advertising, or trial.
Hammond is also a perfect example of "success being in the mind of the 
beholder." When he put together his first self-booked German tour 20 
years ago, he saved up enough money to fly to Europe on Pakistan 
Airlines. He only had $50 in his pocket when he landed there. Hammond 
came home 10 months later with $150 in his pocket. He was able to pay 
for rent, food, and everything he needed during his time on the road 
in Europe. He wasn't rich, but he was happy--and he firmly believes it 
was also a terrific learning experience.
Over the ensuing years Hammond has performed with some of the world's
top jazz musicians, and he now lives in midtown Manhattan and plays 
any and every job he can, on either coast. Money is not his prime 
motivation. He just loves to play. He makes it work, through sheer 
hard work, and he prides himself on being a union musician.
If you are a jazz musician, perhaps you might like to ask him some 
questions of your own, and share some ideas. Hammond is very 
approachable. Ask him about how he 
put together his TV show, how he successfully gets radio airplay, how 
he lands MPF gigs, and how, through it all, he always keeps money 
coming in to pay the rent. He's found a way to do state-funded 
programs in prisons, nursing home gigs, and casual dates in clubs. 
(He's scrambled so much over the years that his new CD is called Late 
Rent.) Hammond does not play for free. He finds ways to get paid. He 
agrees that the only thing you get out of playing a free gig is the 
opportunity to do another free gig.
I know jazz musicians can have a tough struggle, and it's true that 
there simply are not as many places to play as there once were. But 
that is not to say that jazz players can't find work.
Venues have changed, clubs have closed, but people still want to 
listen to cool sounds. Jazz festivals in major cities are still 
popular. Radio stations still offer jazz programs. PBS stations 
showcase jazz artists in their programming. It's just not as easy to 
make money at it as it once was, but you can still make a living.
I don't have all the answers. I think Hammond has some. I bet if you 
brainstorm with your fellow AFM members who specialize in jazz, you 
can go one better and come up with a lot of other ideas yourself. A 
positive attitude is obviously going to play a big part, but if you 
want to play jazz and make a few bucks, there are certainly ways to do 
it. It really is a matter of wanting to be a jazz musician badly enough.
--Bob Popyk is a member of Local 78 (Syracuse, NY) and Local 47 (Los 
Angeles).

That was a big honor for me to be profiled by main man Bob Popyk! I 
always look forward to reading his articles
