WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL DOUG HAMMOND WEBSITE.
A music that's personal to each listener: grooves, moves and blues; jazz, songs, spoken word and raps; swinging in all directions, from the roots to the top of a tree or the blossoming of a rose. A passionate delivery in sound!
2010 brings a variety of programs:
Solo, sometimes with a special guest.
Quartet, introducing some of the very best musicians on the scene today, to perform this music from the roots of jazz, blues, Afro-Cuban, Caribbean, grooves, chants, songs and ballads. From musicians who are always giving a contemporary acoustic, adventurous voyage into the future. The new 2010 release "It's Now;" gives glimpses of what's to come.
The tentet performs the "Acknowledgement Suite," paying homage to musicians who helped forge and shape music of the twentieth century and helped Hammond along the way as a professional musician and person.
This ensemble played to enthusiastic audiences in May 2009 and can be seen and heard on YouTube http://www.youtube.com under Doug Hammond Tentet, as well as on MySpace http://www.myspace.com/doughammondmusic.
