Jimmy Hamilton - It's About Time (Swingville, SV-2022)
Jimmy spent 25 years with Ellington orchestra playing both tenor and clarinet. Jimmy was the one who sounded absolutely different on these two instruments and yet was a great soloist on both. This session appears to be one of his finest solo works.
Originally issued on Swingville, SV-2022. Recorded in 1961 in NJ, Rudy Van Gelder studios.
