Tony Monaco
Tony started playing the accordion when he was
eight years old. When he was twelve, he was given
a Jimmy Smith album and instantly knew that Jazz
Organ was his calling. Tony began playing in Jazz
nightclubs around Columbus Ohio while he was
still learning the art of Hammond B3 organ. He
was influenced by hometown Organists such as
Hank Marr and Don Patterson. Tony's newfound
fascination led him to jazz organ legends Jimmy
McGriff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles
Earland, Jack McDuff, and Dr. Lonnie Smith.
Here he found an unlimited source of inspiration ;
he just couldn't get enough! On Tony's sixteenth
birthday, he received a phone call from Jimmy
Smith. This was a great honor and really boosted
his enthusiasm as an organist. When he was twenty,
Jimmy Smith invited Tony to come play with him
at his club in Woodland Hills LA., California. An
experience Tony would never forget. In April 2000,
Tony met jazz Organist Joey DeFrancesco while
Joey was playing in Columbus, Ohio. The two
of them became instant friends. Joey recognized
Tony's talents right away and offered to produce a
CD for him. Tony's recording "Burnin' Grooves"
sparked international attention. Tony now travels
and plays the "New B3" organ as his relationship
with Hammond Suzuki has grown.
Daisuke Kawai
A Hammond Organ Player. Born in Toyohashi City,
Aichi Prefecture, on 23 July, 1965.
Fascinated by the Hammond Organ sounds played
in the background of the TV drama "Taiyo ni Hoero
(Cry to the Sun)" in his boyhood, he had ambi-
tion at 10 to self-learn and master the Hammond
Organ playing. At 13 he was shocked at the organ
performance of Jimmy Smith. Since then he has
been challenging to attain to his utmost capability
with the Hammond Organ. From 1988 he learned
under Nobuo Kurata. Started his own activities
as a studio musician in 1989. In 1992, he partici-
pated in the "Tokyo's Coolest Combo", the unit
produced by Yasuharu Konishi of (the) Pizzicato
Five. Youngest in the members, he leads the band
as (the) band master. Started collaborating with
Tommy Campbell (drs) as "Organ-EYES Session
Band" in 2003. In the same year the band performed
at Blue Note New York. In parallel with various
recording, live-session activities, he is receiving
very favorable reviews for the epoch-making duo
of only Minako Yoshida's songs and the Hammond
Organ since 2004.
Joey DeFrancesco
Joey started playing at the age of four. He recalls,
"I could just play. I was already hearing Jimmy
Smith and stuff like that around the house. Then one
time my Dad, "Papa John" DeFrancesco, brought
the Hammond organ home from the gig. When I
heard that sound I really got into it. My Dad guided
me in the right direction, the do's and the don'ts,
but he was never very forceful about it." At the
age of 10, Joey was already playing for money on
weekend gigs. By high school, he was working
steadily around Philadelphia, receiving first-hand
instruction from the top-shelf organists who
come through the city such as Jimmy Smith, Jack
McDuff, and numerous others. His high visibility
career kicked off when Miles Davis asked Joey to
join his late 80s band. Joey then signed a contract
with Columbia that resulted in five records from
1989 to 1994. With the release of his album, "All
of Me" in 1989, Joey emerged on the jazz scene.
The global jazz community has credited Joey and
his recordings, from the late 1980s and early 1990s,
as the singular sensation for rekindling a love for
the Hammond B-3 organ. In 2003, Joey and his
band released their latest hit CD, "Falling in Love
Again". This CD featured the Hammond "New"
B-3 organ. For the year 2002/2003, the magazine
Downbeat chose Joey as "the Jazz Organist of the
Year". Besides participating at dealer promotions,
national conventions, concerts, and clinics, he contrib-
utes to Hammond product development.
Deryl Winston
Deryl Winston is a long time resident of San Diego. He
began playing the Hammond Organ at age 14 while still
living in his native home of Seattle Washington. Deryl
was tutored by two of the finest Gospel musicians in
the form of his mother Alice Winston (a concert pia-
nist) and Aunt Jean McGraw (Hammond Organist). It
was not long before many in the Seattle area became
familiar with Deryl and the amazing talent and skill he
showed on the Hammond Organ. By early 2000, Deryl
was introduced to the Executives at Hammond Suzuki
USA. They were very impressed with Deryl and invited
him to the Annual Namm Convention in Anaheim Ca.
to become one of their artist's. Deryl still continues to
travel in the capacity as a Hammond Concert Artist. He
provides dedication concerts and conducts seminars on
Hammond Organ and it's importance in Gospel music.
He's very thankful and proud to represent such a fine
company as Hammond Suzuki USA. Deryl's motto is
"You ain't Jammin, unless there's a Hammond"!

ed in the Hammond Organ since about 15. Purchased the
new X-5 and Leslie #760 at the age of 18, then studied
