You're listening to Hammond Cast on KYOU Radio in San Francisco, California at 15.50 am on
the dial and on the internet at www.kyouradio.com. This is John Hammond at the microphone and at
the organ and I've got a lot of news to tell you about on this show but first I'd like to dive
right into some new music that I recorded on an album that I'll be releasing next month and it's
called NDR Sessions Project. We recorded it in NDR radio studio one in Hamburg Germany with some
fantastic musicians who are very good friends of mine including Blitz Buchner wonderful tenor
saxophone alto saxophone player and clarinet as well member of the NDR big band and another
member of the NDR big band and a good friend of mine also the great veteran drum bonus Joe
Delardo and our main man on the drums Heinz Lysius aka delicious Lysius and ironically my record
company hamburger fries and we have Heinz on drums so I'm gonna play a tune with this formation
just right from the straight recording before we do all our post-production to it you're gonna hear
it first on this broadcast this is one of my favorite favorite compositions of the great Duke
Ellington it's an almost an American folk song this tune is called satin dog here we go
cats make very good music and that's John Hammond at the organ
with his group yeah that's my man jasbo Collins l jasbo Collins the radio legend he says whatever
he's laid on the background while I want to tell you about this I'm in San Francisco California
right now I've had a wonderful time here this time around and I was very fortunate to be the
guest of two of my favorite radio guys out here on the Bay Area's jazz radio station that's Clifford
Brown Jr. and my man Chris Cortez so we're gonna go into the studio with these cats and they're
gonna tell you a little bit about my music and I want to remind you again you're listening to
Hammond cast KYU radio in San Francisco 1515 a.m. it's very true you know that I said the story
the other day that the first time that I actually got a board shift here you know where you operate
the controls for the announcer that was my very first gig here as both Collins and it was an
extraordinary experience you know cuz cuz Al at the time and I had no idea who I was dealing with
you know he was such a character and then someone someone that was just an amazing person to me
you know just that voice alone yeah you know the way he spoke it was just like the hip of the hippest
the voice the way he programmed music was very special yeah but also the way that he created
theater of the mind exactly that was really different yeah very few people in the history of radio do
it the way the jazz vote did I got to know jazz boy I'd listen to him through the years but I got
to know jazz both I was so excited when Anne Whites who is the general manager here at the time
I was a program director yeah and she calls and says I think we might be able to get Al
jazz both Collins have you heard of this I have I heard of him yeah well that was jazz
both voice on an album by John Hammond and we have some of these that you can get it's a special
this is our special hour yes Chris and I always kind of halfway teasingly say that we don't get
many challenges here we don't we don't get those challenge hour now that's okay we don't
met anybody no of course not but what we do get from time and time is specials and we have a
special for you now it's the John Hammond album and Chris wanted to tell everyone about it yes
this is a swing in a release it's funky it's jazzy it's it's bluesy and it's called late rent
and not only features the aforementioned gentleman that jazz boat just announced on
Anderson very finnerty regropone and others but it also features one of my favorite drummers
Bernard pretty pretty on some cuts and Alex Foster also joins in a very finnerty of course on
on many many the cuts and this is a nice album to cool out to you know or actually when you're
driving to and it keeps you nice and calm and it gets your head bobbing when you're when you
grew into the sounds of the B3 organ John Hammond you know what one of the finest B3 organ players
featured throughout this hamburger fries release a quality remastering to John was saying something
to you Chris about it going directly from the organ into the board of somebody you know I'm not
technical like you recording engineer yeah very special sound on the sidewinder that was a you
don't hear that often particularly from B3 organ because the way they record B3 organs
particularly is with a microphone you know and you have to get that rotating Leslie sound going
you know it has a nice rotor effect but this particular recording the side of the sidewinder
by Lee Morgan done here by John Hammond was recorded directly from the B3 and you'll never
hear a clear sound like that from a B3 and it just captures the entire spectrum you know I mean
you hear at the base all the way down to the basement the low lows all the way up to the highs
and it's a very cool sound indeed and that's a one of the tracks that are featured here another
cut that's a burner is white onions that's always we're gonna play that one next that's a great
tune we're gonna play that one just a few moments late rents that that's a John Hammond's
his broadcast theme and that this is a great album I always cool out to it at home have Al
jazz Bo Collins feature throughout the album doing some of the back and that's what a treat thank
you very much cats to my very favorite broadcasters there Clifford Brown Jr. and Chris Cortes right here we're gonna go back to this new recording I did which also was recorded directly from Brian Hammond the next K3 or 2 minute

Hammond Cast on KYOU Radio in San Francisco. This is John Hammond keeping you company here with some tracks from my new forthcoming release called NDR Sessions Project.
And we're going to get right into an original composition of my life this session.
It's called Payphone Johnny. And they don't call it Payphone Johnny for nothing.
Because when I did my first record deal in Germany, I was talking so much on the telephone to the director of the company that I ran up such a phone bill that cut off my phone.
And I was out there in the phone booth on the corner of 9th Avenue and 45th Street at all times in night and day and in all types of weather.
So they don't call me Payphone Johnny for nothing. And this melody came into my head.
It's Lutz Buchner on tenor saxophone. I want to thank the great engineer who made such a fine sound force there in Studio 1 of NDR Radio.
Rudy Grocer. Donka-Shun. Rudy, you are a great soundmaster over there in Hamburg, Germany.
Let's get into the music here. If you're driving a car, folks, I want to tell you, just kick back and enjoy the ride. Drive carefully out there.
