MILTON

Milton project was born just now (September 2018), based in Florence (Italy), from three quite different musicians (age and evolution), involved in Free Improvisation. And then (from Lune 2019) they were four :-)

Renato CORDOVANI (1946): Clarinets and Sax - He is well known (in Italy but in Europe too) as free improviser, from the Seventhies. Just a "Maestro" with a really long history of collaborations. His latest release: http://www.autrecords.com/store/renato-cordovani-cordonbleux-at-nof/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGfiqOanmGRVMh-pDHVRlyk2itlnkAcF0

Gianmarco CONTINI (1997): Piano and Keyboards - He is the youngest of the group (and he is really young), from "Classica/Contemporanea", but yet great in harmonization and extemporanean composition.

Eleonora "TANCREDI" TASSINARI: DoubleBass, Voice, Piano, Harpsichord, Violin, Cello, Accordion and Sax - Composer and performer in Classical and Contemporanean music, with experiences in Theatre.

Enrico FEDI (1960) Drums, El.Bass, Flutes, Reeds, Guitars, Keyboards,Violin - He is the founder of the group, in the Seventies in the florentine scenario (Prog/JazzRock), in Milton as a Jolly. Some of his recent works: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGfiqOanmGRXqIAL6Tevt10ozRZ4jc9ZV

Chico Hamilton: A Different Journey

Chico Hamilton: A Different Journey

Source: JazzWax by Marc Myers

Last week, after my post on Bobby Hutcherson's Oblique, featuring Albert Stinson on bass, Bill Kirchner reminded me of Chico Hamilton's A Different Journey, featuring a superb Hamilton-led quintet that included Stinson. Recorded for Reprise in January 1963 in San Francisco, the quintet was comprised of George Bohanon (tb), Charles Lloyd (fl,ts,as), Gabor Szabo (g), Albert Stinson (b) and Chico Hamilton (d). By early 1963, Chico had completed his pioneering chamber-jazz experiments and shifted to hard bop and jazz inspired ...

Chico Hamilton: At Strollers

Chico Hamilton: At Strollers

Source: JazzWax by Marc Myers

In August 1955, promoter Maynard Sloate booked a quirky quintet into Strollers, a jazz club at 27 Locust Avenue in Long Beach, Calif. The quintet led by drummer Chico Hamilton featured Buddy Collette (as,ts,cl,fl), Fred Katz (cello), Jim Hall (g), Carson Smith (b) and Hamilton (d). There was no cover or minimum. Branded a chamber jazz group, the quintet took its lumps from critics who found the ensemble precious and overrefined. In all fairness to Chico, a few years earlier ...

As a drummer and leader, Chico Hamilton was vastly important in the evolution of small-group jazz in the 1950s and '60s. Unfortunately, he is nearly forgotten today. A force on the West Coast, Hamilton was a member of the seminal Gerry Mulligan Quartet in the early 1950s, he formed his own unique avant-garde quintet in the mid-1950s and again in the early '60s, and he appeared in the 1957 film Sweet Smell of Success along with his music and most ...
