Scott Hamilton

Blues guitarist Duke Robbilard Swingin Again. The group features all star jazz trumpeter, Jon-Erik Kellso and guitarist Chris Flory (8/10 only).Robillard and Hamilton became friends when they were still youngsters growing up in Rhode Island. Since then, Robillard has made a name for himself as a premiere blues guitarist. He was a founding member of Roomful of Blues and has since established an impressive solo career with his group, The Pleasure Kings. He also spent a few years playing guitar for The Fabulous Thunderbirds. But Robillard hasnt limited himself to blues alone, and when it comes to jazz, he can swing with the best. Hamilton has kept the classic tenor tradition alive. Although he broke into the jazz scene in the 1970s, during the height of fusion, Hamilton was intent on maintaining the more traditional styles of players like Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, and Eddie Lockjaw Davis. As Robillard once said, Of all the musicians I know, Scott is not just the keeper of the flame, but actually the flame itself.
