He emerged in the 1970s and at the time he was considered to be one of the few musicians of real talent who carried forward the tradition of the classic jazz tenor saxophone in the style of Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, and Don Byas. Initially playing in various rhythm & blues outfits in Providence (Rhode Island), he subsequently shifted to jazz and the tenor saxophone. In 1976 he moved to New York City, in part at the recommendation of Roy Eldridge. He toured with Benny Goodman for a period of time and recorded his debut album in 1977 for Concord Records, with whom he maintained a long recording career in his own name and as a member of the Concord Jazz All Stars. He also accompanied singer Rosemary Clooney in the studio and on the road for a decade.
In the early 1980s, he formed his own quintet and toured throughout the world. Free from his drinking habit, in 1982 he matured sufficiently to break away from the strong influence of Ben Webster and Zoot Sims, whom he was accused of imitating. From this point, his playing and tone were very much his own.
Living in New York City, Hamilton toured throughout the world during the 1980s, spending much time playing in Japan and Europe. He was in particular a recurrent visitor to the UK, Sweden, and the Grande Parade du Jazz, held in Nice, France. By the early 1990s he was ready for a next step, and by 1994 when he released Organic Duke, he had developed a singular style: a large, well-rounded but a focused tone and improvising, ostensibly still based on swing (especially Ellington), but incorporating more modern elements. During this period, he relocated to London and formed his current quartet, featuring British musicians John Pearce (p), Dave Green (b) and Steve Brown (dr) with whom he recorded East of the Sun in 1993. (East of the Sun features Brian Lemon on piano, not John Pearce.). He currently is touring throughout Europe.
In 2007 he made a guest appearance at the Brecon Jazz Festival accompanied by Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band. Part of this concert was shown on BBC Four as Humph's Last Stand, a tribute to Lyttelton after his death in 2008.
During 2013 through November 2014, Scott Hamilton has featured prominently with Andrea Motis, Joan Chamorro Quintet, backing the acclaimed Spanish jazz singer with his celebrated tenor saxophone, notably in Spain at Barcelona’s Jamboree Club, but also at other venues in Europe. Hamilton has also featured-alongside Motis and Chamorro-with the San Andreu Jazz Band, a Barcelona-based young jazz musician group, created and directed by Andrea Motis & Joan Chamorro Quintet

Grazie.
The evergreen Scott Hamilton always true to himself and to his conception of jazz. I saw Scott live in New York way back in the late 70s, he was playing a lot more licks than he does now but has always remained an island of stability in an ever changing and often chaotic jazz world. When Scott plays you know you are going to hear jazz as it should be played.

Well said ..! Every note means something and there is a melodic line .. Most players these days can’t develop a melodic solo in keeping with the true nature of the tune. It’s all pyrotechnics and chord substitutions... like the guitar player unfortunately. Scott is at his finest in this solo I feel ..

Also Ben Webster went to play a lot less and even closer to the melody .

@@obergssin The best jazz musicians start close to the melody, go on an adventure then bring it back home in a tight bundle that makes sense all along. Staying close to home throughout is nice but the adventure is fun too if done tastefully.
The Great Scott - thank the Lord, he found a home in Catalina.
Bravo, Scott. Su questo vecchio standard riesci con molta eleganza a dire sempre nuove ma classiche proposte, con voce energica ma carezzevole. Frasi tutte ben quadrate, si vede che ragioni prima di parlare. Frasi ben articolate, con qualche concessione blues. Ammirevole fraseggio del chitarrista, armonia ed inventiva nel piano, energica ma educata batteria. Non trascurabile il lavoro instancabile ma originale di Ron, che costituisce il cuore pulsante del gruppo.

Exquisito el tema Scott mucho sentimiento en la expresión , si se logra un orgasmo músical
Muchas gracias Maria. Todo perfecto!
Guitar guy uses foot sound as percussion and adds his voce onto his guitar melody. It shows how he absorbs himself into music. So cool.
Wow my legend ! easy, jazzy and tasty.
Scott are still the best sax ever! Bebop!

Melodic solos with technique when he needs it. I like much.
where did all the other live versions from him on youtube go :( the one I was transcribing a few years ago seems like its completely gone
Marvelous Scott Hamilton!!!! Can anyone tell me precisely what kind of tenor sax he plays (Mark 5 / 6 / other...)? Selmer with Otto Link ?
