It's not often that a Jazz Legend and Video Visionary stops by the office. But yesterday Jon Hammond swung buy to talk about the early days of local access, his lifelong love of jazz, and his radio show on KYOU in San Francisco.

Check out Hammondcast on Magnify.net - and crank it up! Hammond is a true impresario - and the tunes on his channel are so fresh, you really do end up turning up the speakers. Few bits of news from Jon - he's been in media his whole life, but the last two years have been full of big changes... he is hosting his own radio show in San Francisco (a lifelong dream to be a DJ) and he bought his first computer just two years ago! How cool is that - that a guy with the chops this guy has is jumping into the video blogging game and turning his passion into publishing. Even before we met, I was a fan of Jon and his music - hey, who can't love the man playing the Hammond Organ named Hammond! Here's the email he sent us before he swung by:

"It's really a great thing you're doing there. I did an interesting experiment...as follows: Google search: HammondCast Magnify.net I found that my postings are spidering out to many of the other Magnify channels..pages and pages. That's a beautiful thing Steve, bravo!! I can say one thing for sure: "Magnify really DOES Magnify!"

Well Jon - jeez. (*blush*) We're really proud that we're part of your plan get your tunes out to a new generation of Hammond fans - and glad that you've decided to share you're music with the world.

Man, this web stuff sure is fun.
