Musician

Scott Hamilton

Born:

Scott Hamilton is the premier 'mainstream' saxophonist of today. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1954, he came along at the time when the kind of jazz he loved-the small-group swing of such great stylists as Illinois Jacquet and Eddie Lockjaw Davis-was out of fashion, and largely out of the public ear. Scott's handsome sound and impeccable phrasing were a rare commodity among young jazzmen. So when he signed to Concord Records, and began making albums for label boss and mainstream advocate Carl Jefferson, it caused surprise and excitement among both devotees of the style, and in the wider musical world. His first Concord set, [Scott Hamilton is A Good Wind Who IS Blowing Us No Ill] was made in 1977 and took it’s title from an admiring remark from veteran jazz critic Leonard Feather

Read "Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation" reviewed by Artur Moral

by Artur Moral

Reality is filled with confusion and misunderstandings; some are suggestive or creative, while others are disappointing or, worse, malicious. The jazz world is no stranger to the first type: specific compositions are often confused or misidentified as if they were the same. Usually, this happens because of similar melodies or titles that are sometimes identical. This ...

Read "Gerald Clayton, l'Oumigmag, Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, Triology & more" reviewed by Marek J. Śmietański

by Marek J. Śmietański

Our 109th episode features new releases from North American artists. That's a rather traditional set with many inspirations from the '50s and '60s. It's nice to hear how young musicians treat tradition with respect, while also introducing a lot of fresh, creative ideas. Most of the material comes from the US, with a few Canadian albums ...
