Editing Jan Hammer (section)

===The 1990s===
In the early 1990s, Hammer toured with drummer Tony Williams. Notably, they featured as Jan Hammer / Tony Williams Group on July 4, 1991, at Spectrum de Montréal ([[Montreal International Jazz Festival]]).  The show was documented on both DVD and audio CD.

The 1990s saw a renewed focus on scoring, starting with ''[[I Come in Peace]]'' (a.k.a. ''Dark Angel'', composed in 1989 but released in 1990), ''Curiosity Kills'' and all twenty episodes of the British television series, ''[[Chancer]]'', several episodes of [[HBO]]'s ''[[Tales from the Crypt (TV series)|Tales from the Crypt]]''; a television spot for [[Amnesty International]], featuring Czech president [[Václav Havel]], two pilots for [[NBC]], ''[[Knight Rider 2000]]'' and ''News at 12'', ''[[The Taking of Beverly Hills]]'' ([[Columbia Pictures]]) and [[New Line Cinema]]'s ''[[Sunset Heat (film)|Sunset Heat]]''.

"Crockett's Theme" was re-released with Hammer's theme tune for ''Chancer'' in the UK in 1991,<ref name="Larkin"/> after the former featured in a series of commercials for [[NatWest]].

Hammer's next project was as composer and performer of the original score for the Miramar Productions video album, ''[[Beyond the Mind's Eye]]''.<ref name="Huey" />

In late 1993 (and through 2000) Hammer was commissioned to compose all the original music for [[Nova (Czech TV)|TV Nova]], the first commercial television network in Eastern Europe, based in his native [[Czech Republic]], which had its launch on February 4, 1994. He composed everything—including themes for 23 original shows produced by the network, 50 separate station ID's, the music for all of the network's special broadcasts, plus the music for all the news, sports and weather programs.

1994 saw Hammer recording ''Drive'', his first full-fledged album of original new non-soundtrack material under his name in several years.<ref name="Huey" /> He was reunited with longtime partner Jeff Beck on "Underground", reminiscent of their collaborations of the past.

In 1995, Hammer returned to his scoring and soundtrack work.  He began with the one-hour Universal drama ''[[Vanishing Son]]'', then went on to compose the theme and score for 13 episodes of the series.  He composed and performed the original music for two feature films, both released in 1996: ''A Modern Affair'' and ''In the Kingdom of the Blind the Man with One Eye Is King''.  Hammer wrapped up the year scoring ''Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus''.

In 1996, Hammer's scoring assignments included the NBC Movie of the Week, ''[[The Babysitter's Seduction (1996 film)|The Babysitter's Seduction]]'', ''The Secret Agent Club'', and ''The Corporate Ladder''.

In 1997, Hammer also composed the hard-driving rock soundtrack for the new CD-ROM game, ''Outlaw Racers'' (MegaMedia).  His next project was the theme and original music score for the pilot and the series of ''Prince Street''.

Hammer started off 1999 by writing, performing and producing a tune, "Even Odds" for Jeff Beck's latest album ''Who Else!'' (Epic).  Also, 1999 saw the release of ''[[The Lost Trident Sessions]]'', the third (and last) studio album from his former group, the [[Mahavishnu Orchestra]].  The album was recorded in 1973 just prior to the band's breakup.
