Scott Hamilton

American jazz tenor saxophone player. Born : September 12, 1954 in Providence, Rhode Island. From the very beginning of his musical career in the mid 70's he was associated with the swing-revival scene which made him - for his age - a very unmodern artist. However - within that genre he was seen as the future and his smooth playing has been compared to great swing tenors like [a=Ben Webster]. Besides releasing his own records on the [l=Concord Jazz] label, he has lead the labels house band in many various settings, also backing vocalists like [a=Maxine Sullivan] and [a=Rosemary Clooney].
