A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Jul 1st, 2008 by oldfogey
Scott Hamilton recorded this at a concert in Brecon, South Wales in 1994. It proves that jazz wasn’t killed off by John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman and Archie Shepp. He is a throwback to the great jazz sax players of the 1930s - Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Herschel Evans, Ben Webster, Chu Berry. It is natural that he should find a home among Old Fogey’s Favourites. A fuller appreciation of this recording is on my other blog here.
