Kennedy International Airport - when you play Hammond Organ, it's impossible to travel light. I go way back with all of these fine musicians - that's Chuggy Carter on the percussion - Ray Grappone drums - Joe Berger aka Joe Berger2 in the string section on his custom built JJ Guitars - tenor saxophonist Todd Anderson, Todd was my teacher for arranging and composition back in 1973 at the Berklee College of Musicin Beantown MA - Todd is also on my very first album 'Late Rent' one ofNew York's finest - all these cats are veteran players and studio musicians, and I have been around the block a few times myself - yours' truly Jon Hammond at my 1959 Hammond B3 organ and covering the bass as well - through my custom built Bill Beer super high-power Leslie speaker with all JBLspeaker and horn components - enjoy! *Note: When I'm talking, the audiois back to the vid tape - I just plugged an SM-58 in to a little Fender Amp Can battery powered amp - back to basics and analog, big thanks to Willy Hermann Services William Hermann Jr. got my intermittent left channel working! - Jon Hammond Band- the "Blend Mic" '3rd channel' Nakamichi system gives a unique 3 dimensional sound to live audio recordings - that's why even today the old Grateful Dead heads crave these machines - can't beat it - and you get real good at flipping cassettes! - JH Times Square, New York City.
