Interview: Chico Hamilton (Part 2)
Pianist Jimmy Rowles didn't show up. So on June 10, 1952, Gerry Mulligan went ahead and recorded three tracks with just Red Mitchell on bass and Chico Hamilton on drums.

In the 1950s, Chico developed a sound on the instrument that was radically different from the bop-heavy style favored by his more explosive contemporaries.

Interview: Chico Hamilton (Part 1)
Drummer Chico Hamilton's contribution to West Coast jazz and quintet jazz in general is largely overlooked today.

AllAboutJazz-New York February 2009 Issue Now Available!
We hate to be the ones to temper all the post-election enthusiasm for potentially more arts support, but it seems like the financial crisis facing the world has trickled (or deluged) down into jazz. Recent reports indicate that Festival Network, which took over George Wein’s Festival Productions company last year, has laid off most its staff, ...
