24-26Mar
Tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton is always up for a fiery solo. Few, like him, have gained inspiration from all the tenor giants, mixed it all in a large tub, and from there created their very own sound and their deeply personal musical expression. Some will find his style a bit outdated, while others - probably most - enjoy Hamilton's genuine and heartfelt grip on the best sides of classical jazz; it swings, it sounds good, and it is with guarantee an honest and genuine musical statement from a musician who has always been true to what he loves.
Listening to Scott Hamilton is like cruising around New York City in a 1958 Cadillac DeVille; 100% American and 100% honest music. These evenings he is accompanied by the magnificent trio consisting of Jan Lundgren, Hans Backenroth and Kristian Leth.
Tenorsaxofonisten Scott Hamilton er altid god for en fyrig solo. Få musikere har som han suget til sig fra alle tenorgiganterne, mikset inspirationerne i en stor balje, og derfra skabt sig sin helt egen lyd og sit dybt personlige musikalske udtryk. Nogle vil finde hans stil en anelse outdated, mens andre – nok de fleste – nyder Hamiltons ægte og dybtfølte greb om den klassiske jazz’ bedste sider; det swinger, det lyder godt, og det er med statsgaranti et ærligt og ægte musikalsk udsagn fra en musiker, der altid har været tro mod det han elsker.
