Jeff Hamilton Trio dazzles fans in S.L.

Detroit Free Press 9/4/07 Jazz Critic, Michael Styker writes:
The opening "I Be Serious About Dem Blues" catalogued many of the band's strengths, among them the big-train swing, drummer Jeff Hamilton's marriage of power and precision, dynamics that ranged from whispers to startling roars and the charismatic ensemble that, after 22 years of working together, breathes as one.

If this still isn't enough of Jeff for you, DrummerWorld has more pictures, sound clips and videos!

Modern Drummer, February 2012 Issue:
His early obsession with jazz might have been out of step with the rock 'n' roll dreams of most kids his age. But his commitment to the art form has worked to his advantage--and to that of some the greatest artists on the world stage.
