Scott Hamilton • Across the Tracks



Review by Matt Collar
A project long in the making, Across the Tracks finds tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton pairing with journeyman blues guitarist Duke Robillard for a set of burnished lesser-known standards, ballads, and blues. As Rhode Island natives, Hamilton and Robillard crossed paths early on in their careers, with the younger Hamilton drawing inspiration for his own straight-ahead jazz from Robillard's brand of vintage swing, blues, and R&B. Subsequently, Hamilton cut out a niche for himself in the '70s playing swinging acoustic standards and ballads while many jazz musicians were focused on the electric fusion sound. Although the pair have recorded together over the years, Across the Tracks is the first full-length album they've done together. Joining them here are such longtime bandmates as drummer Chuck Riggs, baritone saxophonist Doug James, and Pittsburgh native organist Gene Ludwig. Recorded by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder at the famous Van Gelder Studios in Englewood, NJ, Across the Tracks is easily the bluesiest album Hamilton has done in his career and a warm, earthy vibe permeates the whole proceedings.

Reseña escrita por Matt Collar
Across the Tracks, un proyecto que lleva mucho tiempo en marcha, encuentra al saxofonista tenor Scott Hamilton emparejándose con el guitarrista de blues Duke Robillard para un conjunto de estándares, baladas y blues menos conocidos y bruñidos. Como nativos de Rhode Island, Hamilton y Robillard se cruzaron al principio de sus carreras, y el joven Hamilton se inspiró para su propio jazz directo en la marca de Robillard de swing vintage, blues y R&B. Posteriormente, Hamilton se hizo un hueco en los años 70 tocando baladas y estándares acústicos de swinging, mientras que muchos músicos de jazz se centraron en el sonido de la fusión eléctrica. Aunque la pareja ha grabado juntos a lo largo de los años, Across the Tracks es el primer álbum completo que han hecho juntos. A ellos se suman compañeros de banda de tanto tiempo como el baterista Chuck Riggs, el saxofonista barítono Doug James y el organista nativo de Pittsburgh Gene Ludwig. Grabado por el legendario Rudy Van Gelder en los famosos estudios Van Gelder en Englewood, NJ, Across the Tracks es fácilmente el álbum más blues que Hamilton ha hecho en su carrera y una vibración cálida y terrenal impregna todo el proceso.
