Chico Hamilton • A Different Journey

Review by Scott Yanow

Drummer Chico Hamilton considered this quintet (which also included Charles Lloyd on tenor and flute, trombonist George Bohanon, guitarist Gabor Szabo and bassist Albert Stinson) to be his finest band. This superb LP of material not yet reissued on CD has several memorable melodies (including the closing "Island Blues"), lots of advanced yet logical improvising, and more than its share of variety. The group had its own sound and was quite underrated during its relatively short life. A gem.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

El baterista Chico Hamilton consideraba que este quinteto (que también incluía a Charles Lloyd en tenor y flauta, el trombonista George Bohanon, el guitarrista Gabor Szabo y el bajista Albert Stinson) era su mejor banda. Este magnífico LP de material aún no reeditado en CD tiene varias melodías memorables (incluido el cierre "Island Blues"), mucha improvisación avanzada pero lógica, y más que su cuota de variedad. El grupo tenía su propio sonido y fue bastante subestimado durante su relativamente corta vida. Una joya.
