Scott has a great tone, something most sax players don't have today. They are more interested in showing off their technique. This is a pleasure to listen to.
It takes a lot of knowledge to construct so clean a line that it seems written instead of improvised. And it takes a great sensitivity to have such a nice, warm velvety tone. Scott Hamilton is undoubtely a jazz legend by his own right and weight.
Excelente Scott Hamilton ! Merece todas as homenagens por ser um músico dos melhores no saxofone, bem como por seu caráter. Scott Hamilton presta um serviço abnegado na Jazz Hause de Joan Chamorro em Barcelona, na distante Espanha. Somos todos latinos e ligados a península Ibérica !!!! Congratulations.
I'm one of the blessed inviduals to come across with this great musician in this very place in vienna last aug. 29. Twas a night with great music alongwith this local band.
what a great melodic jazz player with a great sound, ,does not need to fly about the instrument as melody just flows out all in the right place.What a great ear and invented solo,s . Lets have more scott hamilton type players on you tube ,Graham
Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me!
@Bjorn Kieran i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Really a great tenor saxist. Underrated but a master of his instrument. As stated previously, a tight little group that swings. Should hear more of them.
Swinging. Great group. I really like seeing the atmosphere and the setup where the audience and its tables are located right on the bandstand. Would love to have the whole video of this event.
About a year ago I listened to this and really enjoyed it and had made a comment. This clip is still great. The sound is terrific and being a part time drummer, the drummer plays very well. In fact they all work well together. As I have stated before, its too bad that there isn't more video on this show or even a dvd for sale. enjoy
Heaven on earth, Scott! I’m getting on in years and have to stop and pinch myself when you play. Am I hearing this while I’m still alive or have I already taken my last breath!! Absolutely love it 💕!
I heard him do a tag like that at Humber college in Toronto back in 1980 or '81: confused the heck out of me. But then I heard Eddie Davis do similar some months later and I don't think I've heard it since. Excellent guitar solo too, I agree.
Lol the boo boo ending happened because all they know is the lead sheet. Listen to original recordings guys! The person who wrote this is Brooks Bowman. At the coda, the melody goes on up the tritone ii-V-I. Happy listening 🎧
Oh, well.....the double tag sort of worked. I've done that myself, especially after smoking some great weed. By the way, Scott and I have the SAME birthdate, August 24, 1954. I can't help it if I turned out better looking, though....
@terryc if there's a train wreck trag coming, I dont want to hear it..But no way do you get offered gret weed in Vienna, unless that palce has changed radically. Or any weed at all; but a wine headache, they'll offer you two of those s a day. In Vienna, we couldnt even find this one joint (''80 or '90) - after Amsterdam, rather a shock. Oh and as for jazz we couldnt find this club, either
The pianist I like a lot! Tenor Player is decent (hits all the correct notes), just no fire in the oven! Listen to how Charles Lloyd rips the crap out of the same song!
Charles Lloyd and Scott are both fantastic tenor man but they belong to different schools. Anyway Scott is really something more than decnt.. come on...
You can rip the crap out of any tune ... That doesn't mean a damn thing. Scott is not that type of player and the tune itself stylistically is suited to his style ... That's why he chose it. There are many different styles of jazz playing and that's what makes it so interesting. When everybody plays like John Coltrane, Randy Brecker or David Sanborn then you have the satanic homogenization of jazz like everything else. We are not all the same. There is not one way of expressing yourself in jazz that is "better" than someone else once you to get to a certain level. At that point it's all about what you prefer stylistically. There's a ton of players that have fallen into the gazillions of notes self masturbation type of solo that is driven by a narcassict desire to assert their virtuosity and has nothing to do with the audience or the tune itself. I am sick of those type of players ... I can listen for about 5 minutes .... Be blown away by their technique and that's about it ... I'd rather hear Stan Getz, Scott Hamilton, Stanley Turrentine or other really original stylists play one note than the usual cascade of nothingness that explodes out of most jazz players these days ... Check out Andy Snitzer for someone with giant technique but with enough restraint and taste to never let it take over the music .... IMHOO
Scott is well capable of playing up tempo but he plays what he knows his audience likes , most Jazz gigs these days are supper club type of gigs and playing in a frenzied style wouldn’t be appropriate but if you look at the festival gigs he was doing particularly in the 80’s and 90’s you will hear the other side of his playing he’s been a stellar performer for nearly 50 years
Dude Scott Hamilton decent? he is one of the greatest tenors alive. playing scales up and down fast isn't really that hard, making music is way more challenging. Scott is dedicated to play melodies. Any kid out of college could play thousands of notes. And make it sound really tense, play outside, play patterns non stop. they all sound the same and there is nothing there.
Haha, who knows? Apart from your music I love the pensive way you sit behind the instrument. I myself am an amateur pianist and play a.o. in our local hospital, and more than once did people come over and said: 'I find your playing so restful, thank you.' So here's to 'pianist personality'. Best to you.
I wish more musicians had this kind of stage presence. If you don't like what he's doing or you have a problem with what he's not doing, then close your eyes. I get so tired of hearing people say that a musician isn't "feeling it" or isn't "engaged" unless he/she is moving around with the rhythm. Phil Jackson is arguably the greatest coach in sports history, and he could coach 5 games straight without saying a word or even leaving the bench. People think a coach is not engaged if he/she is not pacing the sidelines being animated and obnoxious. Try and tell me that the greatest coach of all time isn't engaged in the game because he's just sitting there. Nonsense! Let Mr. Swoboda do his thing!!
the king of playing melodies over standards! I wish more sax players were alive who played like this!
Scott has a great tone, something most sax players don't have today. They are more interested in showing off their technique. This is a pleasure to listen to.

Mr. Hamilton is among the greats, and plays with even greater passion than he did in his youth.

Magnifico conjunto de Jazz,, Hamilton un maestro del saxo
Saludos a los residentes en España, desde aqui en Perú......
I know and love Scott Hamilton's music from his work with Sant Andreu Jazz Band in Barcelona. He is a superb interpreter of jazz.
I'm one of the blessed inviduals to come across with this great musician in this very place in vienna last aug. 29. Twas a night with great music alongwith this local band.
Love the piano solo. Scott my favorite sax player, although there are many. I believe all great musicians
Love the arrangement. Scott Hamilton is one of my favourites.
Cada "solo" del maestro SCOTT HAMILTON es una "joya musical". Espléndido sonido, fraseo, swing y una fuente inagotable de ideas.
what a great melodic jazz player with a great sound, ,does not need to fly about the instrument as melody just flows out all in the right place.What a great ear and invented solo,s . Lets have more scott hamilton type players on you tube ,Graham
Yes, a fine tenorist in the Stan Getz vein. He's never made it big and hasn't gotten the attention he deserves.

@Bjorn Kieran it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out !
I love Jazz with sweet melody and swinggy rhythm. Scott Hamilton and Eddie Higgins are my favorites.
I agree with you. Those are two of my favorites as well. I know Eddie was very, very popular in Japan.
Really a great tenor saxist. Underrated but a master of his instrument. As stated previously, a tight little group that swings. Should hear more of them.

Guitar solo is 5 stars, totally swinging !
He is my favourite Saxophonist...superb!
Heaven on earth, Scott! I’m getting on in years and have to stop and pinch myself when you play. Am I hearing this while I’m still alive or have I already taken my last breath!! Absolutely love it 💕!
I like hearing endings like that! Gives me some hope!
Real toe tapping music, thanks !!!
What can one say , after you've said , absolutely beautiful.
Genial Scott!!! Swing, buen sonido y musicalidad!!!
Beautiful saxophone sound!!
I've loved Scott Hamilton and the way he does his solhave followed him for many years, I
Musicality, elegance subtile swing and never superfluous notes, that is and has always been Scott Hamilton's style of jazz.
Da wär ich gern dabeigewesen, großartig 👍🏽
最高です、アップありがとうございます。
Great jazz!! I enjoyed all the solos!! Bravo!!
e daniel:Scott and his group simply marvellous.
Nicely filmed this track. What an intimate environment to listen to truly great music in. As well, that guy Spitzer really can play...
Excellent piano player as well.
Love watching the guitar player as he enjoys Hamilton's playing.
Martin Spitzer on guitar
Diana Krall and her group do a great version of this beautiful song❤
Mellow Master along with Pres!
Jazzland is a treasure
you bring us to the stars and moon, sarah, always!
Great music, great musicians.
Love love love Scott’s tone ! Wow
Reminds me a lot of the great Stan Getz!!!
Oh....... Scott is more mellow smoother:
Scott Hamilton is the man
Genial intérprete del jazz y sus acompañantes también excelentes
Me parece que esse é o espírito que move o Jazz - a reunião de amigos em prol da música de qualidade e muito bom gosto.
Nice one guys. Like listening to a great vocalist when a sax can sing like that. Comes from inside the the musician. Thanks Scott.
Totally swinging...nice!
Great performance, love the swing.
Thank you Gentlemen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
洒落た演奏に魅了されました！！
Bellísimo!!!!
D_mn!♥
Masterful!
Para escuchar toda una tarde.....Estupendo!!!
Just noticing how little mouthpiece he takes. I do that on occasion to get a certain sound.
SCOTT Maestro del saxofon
beautiful
Very good !
I heard him do a tag like that at Humber college in Toronto back in 1980 or '81: confused the heck out of me. But then I heard Eddie Davis do similar some months later and I don't think I've heard it since.
Excellent guitar solo too, I agree.
bravo: I love it. Very nice. I love jazz.
I'd like to play with you, i'm a trumpet player.
9 yrs ago ? Im a tenor player with my own group would love to try you out but ITS a bit late ..
좋습니다.
comme tout semble si facile avec Scott Hamilton...........La simplicité et tellement compliquée.....bravo Mr Hamilton , vous êtes incomparable
Lol the boo boo ending happened because all they know is the lead sheet. Listen to original recordings guys! The person who wrote this is Brooks Bowman. At the coda, the melody goes on up the tritone ii-V-I. Happy listening 🎧
Just a great player in any sitting
Best tenor ever !
Swing lives!
Real Nice.
Nice sound...it swings too
Muy bueno!!!
Oh, well.....the double tag sort of worked. I've done that myself, especially after smoking some great weed. By the way, Scott and I have the SAME birthdate, August 24, 1954. I can't help it if I turned out better looking, though....
💙🍀🌷😀
NICE GUITAR SOLO!
What's to say that hasn't already been said? Fulfillment!
That's wat sax is invented for.
A young version of Ben Webster. Suburb instrumentalist. And they swing.

@newsmanbluesman - Lay off the wine and the weed and you might spell better !!
Beautiful Scott sound and swing, but the trio a bit sleepy....
I think this song sounds like Love letters a bit.

@terrryc
gotcha - but missed an r in your tag - nice comment on hipness in Austria, and double-tags failed
Pues nada solamente que el yaz es sumamente esepcionai no hay otro momento más satisfecho al escucharlo

@@obergssin Hear! Hear! Well put! Thank you, I couldn't agree more.
Too bad the pianist's personality doesn't match his marvelous technique.
+Carl Rudd What did you want him to do, then?
Maybe dancing on the piano? I'm the pianist....
