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 or-
gan. He was influenced by hometown Organists
such as Hank Marr and Don Patterson. Tony’s
newfound fascination led him to jazz organ leg-
ends Jimmy McGriff, Richard “Groove” Holmes,
Charles Earland, Jack McDuff, and Dr. Lonnie
Smith. Here he found an unlimited source of in-
spiration ; 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 for-
get. In April 2000, Tony met jazz Organist Joey
DeFrancesco while Joey was playing in Colum-
bus, 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 re-
cording “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
ambition 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 ut-
most 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 participated 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 Phila-
delphia, receiving first-hand instruction from the
top-shelf organists who come through the city
such as Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, and numer-
ous 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 glo-
bal jazz community has credited Joey and his re-
cordings, 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 Down-
beat chose Joey as “the Jazz Organist of the Year”.
Besides participating at dealer promotions, national
conventions, concerts, and clinics, he contributes 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 musi-
cians in the form of his mother Alice Winston (a con-
cert pianist) and Aunt Jean McGraw (Hammond Or-
ganist). It was not long before many in the Seattle
area became familiar with Deryl and the amazing tal-
ent 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 Con-
vention 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 thank-
ful 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”!

terested in the Hammond Organ since about 15. Pur-
