Scott Hamilton & Friends: Across the Tracks

Read "Across the Tracks" reviewed by Chris May


A tenor saxophonist standing foursquare and unreconstructed in the tradition established by Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster and Illinois Jacquet, Scott Hamilton is considered so uncool in some quarters that to admit you enjoy him is to risk being shunned by hip society.
