1	Man from Two Worlds (1962) more music like this by Chico Hamilton Although it tended to get overlooked at the time, one of drummer Chico Hamilton's finest groups was his 1962-1963 quartet/quintet. With Charles Lloyd at his most fiery on tenor and flute, and the colorful solos of the up-and-coming Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo, this band placed a stronger emphasis on melody and softer sounds than the more avant ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
2	Nomad (1979) more music like this by Chico Hamilton see all copies from $12.60! new only from $13.46!
3	Blue '70s: Blue Note Got Soul (2000) more music like this by Various Artists On the surface, Blue Seventies is packaged as a Blue Note funk compilation, but the selected music is closer to what would become "smooth jazz" in the '80s and '90s. These tracks were recorded by the Blue Note label at a time when it intentionally embraced the synthesizer, R&B, and disco hybrids tailor-made for pop radio exposure. While the ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $4.49!
4	A Different Journey (1963) more music like this by Chico Hamilton Quintet Drummer Chico Hamilton considered this quintet (which also included Charles Lloyd on tenor and flute, trombonist George Bohanon, guitarist Gabor Szabo and bassist Albert Stinson) to be his finest band. This superb LP of material not yet reissued on CD has several memorable melodies (including the closing "Island Blues"), lots of advanced yet ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
5	The Dealer (1966) more music like this by Chico Hamilton Drummer Chico Hamilton introduced many top young players during his years as a bandleader, but few probably realize that Larry Coryell made his recording debut with Chico a year before joining Gary Burton's quartet. This CD reissue brings back Coryell's initial appearance on record, and at times he sounded oddly like Chuck Berry (especially on ... see all copies from $14.11! new only from $14.11!
6	6th Avenue Romp (2006) more music like this by Chico Hamilton The third of four releases in Chico Hamilton's astonishing burst of creativity in his 85th year is just about as fresh and open-minded as the previous two, while weighted more toward R&B territory. The concept is supposed to be a celebration of Los Angeles in the 1960s (and '70s), mostly of the soul scene, with some detours into the band books of ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
7	Hamiltonia (2007) more music like this by Chico Hamilton The compilation Hamiltonia draws 13 tracks from Chico Hamilton's first four CDs for his own Joyous Shout label. Recorded over a 15-year period with various groups, the drummer is still very much a force to be reckoned with, both as a composer and a soloist. "Chicano Heritage" is a driving feature for the promising young guitarist Cary DeNigris, ... see all copies from $15.06! new only from $15.06!
8	The Original Ellington Suite (2000) more music like this by Chico Hamilton & Eric Dolphy This release will have fans of Eric Dolphy salivating as it includes some long-lost work that jazz scholars didn't know existed at all. When the premiere reissue producer Michael Cuscuna researched all known Pacific Jazz tapes attributed to Chico Hamilton, all he came across were three edited numbers from this session, two of which had appeared on ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
9	Believe (2006) more music like this by Chico Hamilton From the first outbreaks of Chico Hamilton's distinctive bossa groove and press-roll variations of same on the opening track "Evan's-Ville," you can tell that this veteran of the jazz wars shows virtually no signs of fatigue in his 85th year. Indeed, this compulsively listenable disc is but the second of four releases that the durable Hamilton put ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
10	Thoughts Of... (2002) more music like this by Chico Hamilton The title of this CD pretty much sums it all up, as this great jazzman reflects upon those who have inspired him throughout his storied career. Here, drummer Chico Hamilton and his base quartet receive additional support -- on selected tracks -- from guitarists Larry Coryell, Joe Beck, and Rodney Jones, signifying those who have respectively ... see all copies from $17.73! new only from $17.73!
11 view cover	Heritage (2006) more music like this by Chico Hamilton For the fourth in his series of 2006 releases -- a pace that hardly anyone maintains anymore in jazz, least of all an 85-year-old -- Chico Hamilton pays a series of tributes to old cohorts, mentors, friends and such with a new batch of originals. The same basic band that backed the previous three releases, Euphoria, is back for this one -- and so ... see all copies from $16.16! new only from $16.16!
12 view cover	Tanganyika (1954) more music like this by Buddy Collette w/ Chico Hamilton & Jim Hall This set, presented by disc jockey Sleepy Stein but actually led by multireedist Buddy Collette, slightly predates the Chico Hamilton Quintet and hints strongly at that chamber jazz group. Comprised of Collette, drummer Chico Hamilton, trumpeter John Anderson, pianist Gerald Wiggins, guitarist Jimmy Hall and bassist Curtis Counce -- if one ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
13 view cover	Trio! (1992) more music like this by Chico Hamilton In the liner notes, drummer Hamilton states "I have never made a straight-ahead record." This one comes pretty close. It swings with fervent joy -- not bad for the 71-year-old veteran. Electric guitarist Cary DeNigris, and saxophonist Eric Person from Hamilton's larger working ensemble, take these shared themes to logical conclusions, and offer ... see all copies from $31.45! new only from $31.45!
14 view cover	Gongs East/Three Faces of Chico (2005) more music like this by Chico Hamilton Collectables reissues two fine, late-'50s dates by drummer and bandleader Chico Hamilton. Gongs East and Three Faces of Chico both feature a solid, hard-swinging quintet with guitarist Dennis Budimer, bassist Wyatt Ruther, cellist Nathan Gershman and a young Eric Dolphy on flute, various reeds, and woodwinds. The earlier of the two platters, Gongs ... see all copies from $12.15! new only from $12.15!

17	The Head Hunters (1969) more music like this by Chico Hamilton Chico Hamilton, having led one of the most significant bands of the West Coast cool jazz era in the '50s and having headed a mid-'60s group that featured Charles Lloyd and Gabor Szabo, was in a state of transition at the time of this 1969 album. This intriguing if erratic set features up-and-comers in altoist Steve Potts (who would later be a ... see all copies from $15.59!

21 view cover	Juniflip (2006) more music like this by Chico Hamilton On Juniflip, one of four new releases by Chico Hamilton in 2006 for his Joyous Shout! label, the veteran drummer is hardly resting on his laurels or simply rehashing old favorites. Mixing it up with seasoned musicians like trombonists Jimmy Cleveland and George Bohanon, along with some talented, much younger multi-reed players such as Karolina ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!

23 view cover	Transfusion (1962) more music like this by Chico Hamilton The first four CDs released by Studio West, a subsidiary of V.S.O.P., are all taken from concise (around three minutes apiece) performances that were made to be used as part of the radio show "The Navy Swings." This particular release features performances by one of drummer Chico Hamilton's most stimulating groups, a quintet comprised of Charles ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
24 view cover	Jazz Christmas [Music Masters] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Although it's hardly a standout holiday record, Jazz Christmas is an entertaining collection of classic Christmas albums performed in a lightly swinging, soul-jazz style. Leo Stanley, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.65! new only from $4.65!
25	The Chico Hamilton Special (1960) more music like this by Chico Hamilton The fourth version of the Chico Hamilton Quintet only recorded two albums (including one of movie melodies) and was the least known of his early groups. However, this generally excellent album is significant for introducing Charles Lloyd (who here plays flute and alto instead of tenor). The other three musicians (cellist Nate Gershman, pianist ... see all copies from $28.91!
