John Hammett has played and recorded music most of his life, exploring the expressive capabilities of piano, percussion, and voice.
John attained his degree in music and is currently teaching music theory at a local community college. His diverse influences have included three years performing in a Javanese Gamelan Orchestra. He has played percussion on works by Brian Christman, an industrial music recording artist. One of his latest endevours was recording and producing "Love Can't be Tamed", a collection of folk tunes from guitarist and prolific songwriter Dan Gramlich.
Recording artist John Hammett now offers a CD capturing many poignant moments of his keyboard improvisations. In "Flow" one can hear the influences of Impressionism, Minimalism, and Jazz. These styles are blended with unusual rhythms and meters from John's many years as a percussionist.
Sit Back, take a deep breath and have a listen!
