Jon Douglas Lord is a British Hammond Organ and Piano player. He was born in Leicester on 9 June , 1941 . He was a member of Deep Purple , Whitesnake , Paice, Ashton & Lord , Artwoods , and Flowerpot Men . He is recognized for combining rock and classical music. In 1968, Jon co-founded Deep Purple, the band he was most well-known for. Jon and the drummer, Ian Paice , were the only constant band members for 34 years. He left Deep Purple after their UK tour in 2002, and was replaced with Don Airey . Jon had been considering leaving the band for some time, due to his busy touring schedule and his concerto. In 2001, Don Airey was used to substitute him for a month after a knee injury. This worked out, so Jon decided to leave in 2002. Jon was well-respected for his mastery of the Hammond Organ. Some called him "Lord of the Hammond", and in his 34-year Deep Purple career, you can hear his distinctive solos amid many classic songs on their albums. PARTIAL DISCOGRAPHY
