Atsuko Hashimoto (organ); Yutaka Hashimoto (guitar); Jeff Hamilton (drums).
When Atsuko Hashimoto was brought to Southern California by Jeff Hamilton, the legendary drummer who fell in love with her music when he jammed with her in Osaka, Japan, she wowed and captured the heart of the discriminating audience. With her successful performances at the Monterrey Jazz Festival (2007) and the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival (2008), her fan base in the US is rapidly increasing.
Her latest release from Japan, Time After Time, was recorded in 2006 and 2007 when she was touring Los Angeles with Jeff Hamilton and Yutaka Hashimoto, her husband and talented guitarist. What is most obvious from the start is the sympathetic, locked-in rhythmic feel between Atsuko and Hamilton. Together they create a wonderful groove and swing feel that surround you like a comfortable blanket.
The three musicians complement each other perfectly, providing well-timed comments and often finishing one another's musical sentences. Atsuko shows her comprehensive approach to jazz organ and complete mastery of the instrument. Hamilton showcases his masterful drumming, utilizing his sticks, brushes and hands to the fullest extent.

Time After Time
She's a pretty good organ player and there's OK tracks here, but I think the other album available here is superior. Merci.
