Not the most encouraging title (better than the alternative).......2007-03-31

I always associate Jimmy Hamilton with the best editions of the Ellington band, a name that, whenever called upon by Duke, could be trusted never to fail. He had that New Orleans sound that I hear in Duke's best reed sections, yet his sound was more forward, more "out front" than some of Duke's other clarinetists and alto players. Moreover, he took better care of himself than other members of the Ellington musical family, savvy enough to know there were better investments of one's time and money than at the bar.

All of which is to say if you have similar positive recollections of the Hamilton clarinet within the colorful Ellington palette, pass this one up. Jimmy still puts out strong-toned melodies but passes up virtually all opportunities to improvise, turning over those chores to a fairly decent piano player and a fleet-fingered, overly amplified bass player, who has worn out his ideas by the second solo.

It may be Jimmy Hamilton, but it's still little more than an ordinary dance set.
