The Jazz Session #36: Chico Hamilton
The Jazz Session - Un pódcast de Jason Crane
Jason Crane interviews drummer, composer, arranger, educator and NEA Jazz Master Chico Hamilton. The 86-year-old Hamilton released four albums (!) in 2006, and then collected tracks from the four albums on 2007's Hamiltonia (Joyous Shout, 2007). This year will see the release of two more recordings -- a remix album featuring new takes on classic Hamilton tracks, and an EP that pays tribute to his first recording with a guitar-drum-bass trio. The show features two tracks from the upcoming trio record along with music from Hamiltonia.
