Once the boy wonder of neo-mainstream, Scott Hamilton is now, unbelievably, in his early sixties. No longer tied to his US Concord contract, he records prolifically in and around Europe. A case, I guess, of have saxophone, will travel. Recent releases have worked rather like a Cook's tour of the continent, taking in like-minded collaborations in the UK, France, Switzerland and Denmark, with a significant cluster occurring in Spain, and Benicàssim in particular, this 2015 concert session just the latest in his Iberian sequence. Writer Dave Gelly recently referred to Hamilton's “undiminished brilliance” and it's easy to see what he means. Every piece here is played by Hamilton with a kind of languid ease, each melodic variation following the other, quite inexorably, his sumptuous tenor sound brilliantly caught in this live recording. There's an unhurried quality to his approach, a lived-in character to his phrase-making that is very engaging and while it might lack the fire and brimstone of youth, it is compensated for by the well-honed values of experience. US pianist DeRose sings too, on ‘How Deep Is The Ocean’, and plays her boppish clusters with real authority while Gonzalez, a carry-over from an earlier release, makes every step a swinger. Make no mistake: Hamilton still has a lot to offer.
