The American tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the great protagonists of swinging jazz. The Who´s Who in Jazz even calls him the mainstream Messiah. Hamilton confidently plays with the vocabulary of his ancestors Lester Young, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Don Byas and has long since found his own weighty voice. His superior flow of ideas and his tremendous creative power make him the most important mainstream saxophonist of our day.
Scott Hamilton was born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1954. Through recordings by alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges he finally came to the saxophone. Swing legend Roy Eldridge brought the exceptional talent to New York for a six-week guest performance in 1976 and paved the way for subsequent engagements with Hank Jones and Anita O'Day. From then on he belonged to the first ranks of the New York scene and worked alternately with Teddy Wilson, Benny Goodman, Gerry Mulligan, Woody Herman, Dave McKenna, Mel Lewis, Zoot Sims, Ray Brown, Gene Harris, Clark Terry.
With the trio of the Würzburg pianist Bernhard Pichl, Scott Hamilton has found ingenious partners for his music. This is also confirmed by the CD of the Bernhard Pichl Trio with Scott Hamilton, How About You, just released. Jazz cellar: "Scott Hamilton & the" Bernhard Pichl Trio "play that you will believe in the really swinging jazz again."
