I remember many, Many years ago, how excited I was purchasing Jan’s “Oh, Yeah” album, and pulling out of the sleeve and placing it on the turntable, watching the Shure Diamond needle settle into the grooves and then having the power of Jan’s synth blow my socks off as the airwaves pulsed out of the Pioneer HPM-100 speakers…it was a magical time in the fusion era!!!
Hi Jan. I'm a 45 year pro keyboard player out of Chicago. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of the greatest musical influences in my life. You are the greatest mini moog player that has ever been, and not enough has been said about your entirely original and brilliant sound on Fender Rhodes. Thank you!!
He will always be master of the pitch bend.
In 2004,I flew to London from Chicago, to my utter surprise I saw Jan walking right down the street in London for my 2nd story Hotel room. I yelled down below and he heard me. I asked if he was playing with Jeff,and the answer was Yes! I witnessed that whole UK Jeff Beck Tour,what a Tour! I recall,that Jan told me he insisted that Jeff play one song on acustic guitar,a song he wrote. Years later,next time I saw Jan was @The Soundcheck of Jeff Beck's 50th Anniversary Show 08-10-2016 @The Hollywood Bowl. Again Jan was a surprise last minute guest,and this time I had a Mahavishnu Orchestra t-shirt with me. Jan Hammer was one amazing fusion master,so much incredible music covering a vast selection,and off course him and Jeff Beck had a magic chemistry,every single time they went on stage together.
Jeff Beck said about Hammer's Mini Moog playing. "He plays better guitar than I do"
"Oh Yeah!" is one of my favorite jazz fusion albums.
I wish Jan would have played No Fear. I think that's single handedly one of the all time best MiniMoog (possibly synth) solos of all time in the history of synth solos. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it and I've played the piece at least 1,000 times since it first came out.
"NO FEAR" Hauntingly BEAUTIFUL tune. And yes!!!
Killer synth solo(s)!!!!!!
From the album "Like Children" with Jerry Goodman (violin)
Bought the LP when it 1st came out. 1975...........
I love Jan Hammer and his music. Darkness/Earth In Search Of A Sun made me cry for real its so good.
me too and thats the tune that got me hooked on hammer.......the first seven days is easily the best album ive ever heard
The opening on Darkness ....the Anticipation and sound is simply outstanding and moving.
Jan you are the most original unique musician on this planet totally mindblowing!
I'm deeply grateful for having experienced your music!
Mega Thanks
What makes a happy man? Skill, desire and opportunity!
una sola palabra cabe aquii...¡¡¡ YEAH...😎😎😎
Jan Hammer -The essence of musicality !
Thanks Jan for sharing this !
Love Ya !
When Jan starts soloing on Oh, Yeah... you can just see the joy on his face! And the bit where they're trading off on parts of the riff... so much fun!
FOR GOODNESS... I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE START OF TH-cam!!! LOVE JAN´S WORK! A MUSIC MASTERPIECE!
Same here
Count me in!!
hello...jan....you are the best
my channel its your channel

miami vice would not have been what it was without you...thanks from spain

Srdečné pozdravy z Česka. Země skvělých muzikantů. 😁
Love always, Jan. Sounding great, wonderful to hear some of the jams from those early albums again.
Sure didn't expect to hear material from The First Seven Days!
Biblical music, huh?
This is really outstanding! Thank you.
Awesome!
So great to see him out and about and shredding!!! We love you Jan!!!
Your music evokes emotions!
incredible!!..thanks for sharing , MAESTRO!
Dude's still got it!
Darkness/Earth In Search of A Sun. I can almost imagine the celestial mechanics doing their thing as the mighty spheres do their celestial dance. Jan Hammer 4ever!
The audio production is stellar...!!!!!
wow from 80s to 2000s have not so much change he is still looking young :3
Oh Yeah,-- nobody, nobody ever like you. Thanks so much.
followed mahavishnu orch for cobham (me orig a drummer) but Jan for opening up keyboards to me. ALL of my synth influence, down to how I bend notes was taken shamelessly from Jan. I saw the Jan Hammer Group at the Jazz Workshop in Boston in the 70's. OMG
I am grateful that this was posted.
It is sort of difficult to describe how important Jan’s music has been to me as a musician and a composer. We all might intersect with his varied career at different points or even hung with him throughout his entire career. In my teens in the mid seventies I could hear that he had a particular voice. What an important idea - original voice and keys that spit fire!
From the album Oh Yeah on I became more and more drawn into his concept of expression. I don’t recall ever spending time learning specific licks from the many Jan Hammer albums that I bought, but I pursued ( and still pursue) the goal of developing such expressive techniques on the synthesizer and finding the uncommon and surprising turns in compositions. Also and very importantly, I have tried to pursue Jan’s ways of scaring the crap out the guitar players. (As Jeff Beck once said, “Jan Hammer is my favourite guitar player.” )
One of the greatest compliments that I ever got was from a fellow Jan fan who heard me and remarked that he could definitely tell that, even though I played no JH licks, I had absorbed the ascetic of JH. (This is why I also like Adam Holzman so much. We seem to have much in common.)
The only famous person that I ever met was Joey Defrancesco and I am grateful that I got to tell him how much his work meant to me. The only person who I could heap greater praise upon would be Jan. I wish that I could somehow let him know how much his work has meant to me for so many years. Thank you Jan!
Don't forget about the Album "Like Children" 1975 with Jerry Goodman (violin) from the Mahavishnu Orchestra
"The First Seven Days"
1975
Billy Cobhams (drums)
1st solo album "Spectrum" (1973)
Elvin Jones (drums)
lp "On the Mountain"
1975...........
Al Dimeolas 1st solo album "Elegant Gypsy"
Jeff Beck "Wired" 1976
Tommy Bolin "Teaser"
1975 there's more!! I'll post them after I look them up on Wikipedia, just to make sure I have the correct titles and the year they were released.
@@gerardovivanco5631 - 👍 Oh yes, those are good additions. The Elvin Jones On the Mountain album was hard to find.
Also:
David Earl Johnson - Midweek Blues & Hip Address albums
Stone Alliance - a couple albums
Tony Williams - The Joy of Flying (Eris is my favourite Jan Hammer track ever.)
A couple albums with Neil Schon (Untold Passion has some of that fire breathing synth playing, for sure.)
Dicier Lockwood - Live album
@@gerardovivanco5631 Also: John Abercrombie - Timeless & Night albums
If Jan had never done anything in his life but Sophie on Jeff Beck Wired, he'd still be the greatest in my book.
Jan's the best. Just amazing!
My man
Great band! I saw Glenn with Dave LaRue. Fantastic show!
Saw him at smuckers Brooklyn in 70s !!
I like the sound Hammer uses for solos on tunes like Before the Storm/The First Seven Days. Maybe it's an old Moog setting. But he makes it sing. It doesn't appear on his latest Seasons Pt1, except for a bar or two on the opening track that morphs into a guitar sound within the last 30 seconds of the track. Good album, by the way. More bluesy than other Hammer albums, I think, with him using a guitar sound for most solos. Maybe his best record for that style. The album doesn't go for new sounds, unless one counts using a dulcimer sound for a bit of a Central European vibe, but it works well as an album and sort of ends with an unresolved feel, as if it were the first cd of a double album, so maybe Seasons Pt2 is already recorded & in the pipeline. Btw, the MV style tracks on the album are Miami Night, April and New World.
Great analysis of new album
We are on the official channel of the man. Show us how it was done, Mr. Hammer!! I think it involved developing the sound as a guitarist should, with a compressor and distortion pedals.
"Cyclone" is also an MV style song as it uses the lick from Rico's Theme~
Jan Effin Hammer!
ONE & RESPECT ! MUSIC IS...................
Cool version of Darkness.
zo good
Jan the Best
👌
Love the Darkness/Sun track. A classic Beck/Hammer number.
The bass is so fat and fruity there's bits of plaster coming off the ceiling.
I saw the Jan Hammer group play as a trio without a guitarist some 40 years ago and our drink glasses in the club were shimmying and shaking and sliding across the table from the low bass notes on "Darkness/ Earth in search of a sun" (more from the synth than from the bass guitar). The bassist, Colin Hodgkinson, was a powerhouse in his own right.
@@goodun2974 I saw that too, at the Victoria in London. Fantastic show.
Jan is like Chick Corea to me, where the music just flows though them to where the composition, music and the player all become one greater entity. Wayne Shorter is like that too.
I wanna see him on an mpe keyboard now.
Un grande artista Jazz e Jazz-Rock,che si è perso nei meandri della musichetta da film e pubblicità...
Non ha più mostrato Il feeling e la grinta che aveva negli album della Mahavishnu e in Spectrum,peccato....l'album live "Make Love" rimane una perla.
The tune 'flashback' doesn't come across as very dramatic here. But it and 'Russian night' (snapshots) are ones that stick in the mind for me as being extremely effective at...I don't know what...capturing my imagination, I guess. The singing moog line on oceans and continents too...
Jan which you come to denmark and kick some ass !! Could be graet Hard music
The Coolest and the Best and most original IMHO~! Been wondering if he may be the reincarnate of Ludwig Van Beethoven?
holy shmoly
I love this! Is, or will this be available on an album?
8:50 tunes brought me to my childhood with Sega Genesis
Sounds like the first Dregs album
... still waiting for him to bust into Miami Vice theme or Crockets theme... and still waiting.haha
Oh man I thought Jan Hammer was dead.
second keyboard: Adam holzman
I was hoping there would be a Miami Vice track hidden in here somewhere :)
@reformedfruit There was a Miami Vice track @13:55 "Flashback"
@@erwinvos5357 man, some fan I am, I missed that, lol
Anyone know what gear Jan is using here?
could be great to combine you music with tuff funk drumming
I'm missing Tony Smith here
Here: have a drum-rendition of “Darkness”, enjoy! ✌🏻🤩

The first song is a Dixie Dregs Tribute without Morse? Steve perhaps smile when see this 😉
th-cam.com/video/9ZZeMHDlPq4/w-d-xo.html
Morse was always a declared Mahavishnu Orchestra fan. Hammer recorded his first album before Mahavishnu with its former violinist Jerry Goodman (Like Children, 1974). Goodman joined The Dregs in the 1990s.
@@stonelenny IIRC, Inner Mounting Flame was out before Like Children.
Uh? Oh Yeah? is from Jan's album Oh Yeah? that came out after First Seven Days, which came after Like Children.
@@stonelenny The Dixie Dregs were originally a Mahavishnu cover band before they came out with their own originals and got a record deal.
I'm wondering how upset Moog was since he played his Korg more than he did his MiniMoog. :-)
Where is that great Rockman sound?
Mahavishnu project, but no mahavishnu songs
It is better than Woodstock!
Woodstock was cool, but is there any comparison???
@@fawltytenor When Jan Hammer opened his page and I was invited to it his Moogfest post was making this reference to Woodstock.
I am answering his reference here.
Adam Holzman at 11:47??
Jac Holzman's son on keyboards.
