Teasing the Korean Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I absolutely LOVE that stuff with Gabor Szabo. Some jazz geeks hate it. Thanks for playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Lloyd's playing here (and on his first two albums, and the Cannonball stuff) is better than on the Atlantic albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Lloyd also seems to have done a vast bulk of the writing for the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Up in remembrance... I'll be revisiting these sides and the Mosaic set as well. I have to confess that I'm not as up on post-1970 CH as I should be... any recommendations? http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/journey-chico-hamilton-1960s/ Edited November 26, 2013 by ghost of miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 ... any recommendations? I quite like this one of his later albums.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of miles Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 We re-aired A Different Journey: Chico Hamilton In The 1960s this past week in honor of today’s Hamilton centennial, and it remains archived for online listening.

Dmitry Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Looking forward playing this program on my commute to work tomorrow. Just played the Chico Hamilton Special LP for the first time, and I'm hooked. Three plays in a row...I loved every second of the music on this record!

Ken Dryden Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I interviewed Chico Hamilton twice for Hot House, he was an engaging guest. Ironically, he was one of the first jazz masters that I met at the NEA Jazz Masters reception held in January 2006 at IAJE. If i can find a way to load the photo I took of him with Jack DeJohnette, Jimmy Heath and Louis Hayes, I'll upload it. Most of the photos I took casually rather than trying to get anyone to pose, this one was printed with my article about it in Coda.
