Music reviews of Across the Tracks
Music Review: Excellent.
Rating: 4 Stars
The tenor saxophone ballad - both sensuous and poignant - is a distinct genre within jazz. And Scott Hamilton is its greatest living practitioner.
So, if you have a taste for this variety of musical sweetmeat - the audible equivalent to a chocolate truffle - "Across The Tracks" is an irresistible prospect: nine richly romantic performances, one after another.
This is the first time Scott Hamilton and legendary jazz engineer Rudy Van Gelder have worked together. The album was recorded at Rudy's studio in New Jersey and features Grammy nominated (traditional blues) guitarist Duke Robillard (known for his work with Roomful of Blues and The Fabulous Thunderbirds).
The nine original tunes are satisfactorily unhackneyed. Among them , "Something For Red", " Deuces Wild" and "Sweet Slumber" .
The excellent Rhode Island born saxophonist's effortless mastery of the classic swing style of Ben Webster, Gene Ammons, Illinois Jacquet, and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and Coleman Hawkins shines bright on this fantastic album, which features his commanding approach to ballads, blues and bebop.
Scott Hamilton has long been known as keeper of the flame for swinging tenor saxophone in the tradition of such icons as Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Gene Ammons, Illinois Jacquet, and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis. He has also been a Concord Jazz recording artist since 1977 -- some thirty years, longer than any other Concord artist recorded more than thirty projects on Concord.
Guest musicians: drummer Chuck Riggs, baritone saxophonist Doug James, and Pittsburgh native organist Gene Ludwig .
Have a great listening experience.
