Our Take

Chico Hamilton's "Drumfusion" is a limited edition release that delivers a delightful jazzy punch with two bonus tracks to sweeten the deal. Hamilton, known for his innovative drumming style, brings his A-game to this eclectic album that seamlessly blends together elements of bebop, cool jazz, and avant-garde.

From the moment the first track kicks in, it's clear that Hamilton is on top of his game. His rhythmic intensity drives the album forward, propelling listeners on an exciting musical journey. The addition of the bonus tracks only adds to the overall experience, offering up even more of Hamilton's infectious groove.

Each song on "Drumfusion" showcases Hamilton's versatility and skill as a drummer, with moments of quiet introspection juxtaposed with explosive bursts of energy. The guest musicians on the album add an extra layer of depth, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist.

In true Chico Hamilton fashion, "Drumfusion" is a playful and dynamic album that keeps you on your toes from start to finish. So, grab a cup of tea, put on your best jazz loafers, and let yourself be taken away by the infectious rhythms of Chico Hamilton. You won't regret it. Cheers, mate!

About the artist

Chico Hamilton

Chico Hamilton, the legendary jazz drummer, is as smooth as silk and as cool as a cucumber. With a career spanning over six decades, Hamilton has established himself as a true innovator in the world of jazz. Born in Los Angeles in 1921, Hamilton began playing drums at a young age and quickly made a name for himself on the West Coast jazz scene. In the 1950s, he formed his own quintet, which featured musicians like Buddy Collette and Jim Hall. Together, they created a unique sound that blended elements of cool jazz with Latin rhythms, setting them apart from their contemporaries. Hamilton's drumming style is distinctive for its light touch and sophisticated grooves, which have earned him critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. His compositions, such as "Conquistadores" and "The Dealer," showcase his knack for blending complex arrangements with infectious melodies. In addition to his work as a bandleader, Hamilton has collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy, and Gabor Szabo. His versatility and adaptability have made him a sought-after sideman, and his contributions to the music world have not gone unnoticed. Now in his nineties, Hamilton continues to perform and record, proving that age is just a number when it comes to passion and talent. With his laid-back charisma and unparalleled musicianship, Chico Hamilton remains a true icon of the jazz world. So sit back, relax, and let the smooth sounds of Chico Hamilton transport you to a world of musical bliss.
