Formed in 1955, the Chico Hamilton quintet was a unique jazz group. Nobody could
miss the cello, or the fact that the reed player was as likely to be playing flute
or clarinet as saxophone. All 5 members of the original quintet were writers.
This upload gathers all known recordings of the quintet's gig at The Strollers
in Long Beach, CA. mostly from two Pacific Jazz LP's
Consider this upload a tribute to recently deceased guitarist Jim Hall who
launched his career with this collaboration.
Chico Hamilton's experience as an vocal accompanist gave him the ability to be
expressive at low volume. His playing reminds me of Shelly Manne.
