Joan Chamorro & Scott Hamilton - Jazz House Sessions with Scott Hamilton (2023)

The Jazz House, home of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, has become something really special. Classes, rehearsals, recordings, meetings, interviews. The video series "The Jazz House Sessions", started in 2018, and with more than 150 videos (and the list is still growing) reflects part of our history, as well as the evolution of the young musicians who participate in the recordings.
THE JAZZ HOUSE is a place to dream and to turn dreams into reality. Dreams full of wonderful sounds, melodies that we learn by listening and singing. It is a place to sing with your voice, to sing with your instrument, which is your voice. To generate illusions, to share them, to laugh, to dance… to dream and… we return to the beginning. It is a magical place where what matters is the present, the path. Where there are no other goals than to enjoy the day to day, and through it to advance, TO ADVANCE TODAY, because if we are happy doing what we do today, we will always be happy.
Since 2013 there have been many collaborations with the great tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. At Jazz House we have had him on many occasions. This CD includes tracks from four sessions: 1- A tenor battle with Joan Martí and Marçal Perramon, former musicians of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, which recreates the atmosphere experienced in this type of session, as in his day did Dexter Gordon, Gene Ammons, Sonny Stitt, Johnny Griffin, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Al Cohn, Zoot Simms, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Paul Quinichette, Lester Young and Scott Hamilton himself along with other great tenor saxophonists. 2- Some unreleased tracks from the session "Èlia Bastida meets Scott Hamilton". 3- Some unreleased tracks from the session "Joan Chamorro presenta Alba Esteban". 4- A couple of Brazilian songs from a session we did with Alba Armengou and Vicente López.
In total, 14 songs in which Scott shows why, today, he is still one of the great tenors of the world jazz scene.
