A Tribute to Chico Hamilton
Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm

Chico Hamilton was one of the finest jazz drummers of the post-war era, a bandleader with a sharp eye for new talent, an actor, and a beloved teacher. A co-founder of the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, his death at age 92 was keenly felt by his many colleagues, friends, and generations of devoted students at the New School.
This special concert will celebrate his music and legacy with a performance led by saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Evan Schwam, a graduate of the New School and permanent member of Chico Hamilton's main group, Euphoria, since 2000. Joining Schwam will be many special guests and musical friends of Chico.

West Coast jazz great Chico Hamilton dies at 92
By Chris Barton
November 26, 2013, 9:10 a.m.
Bandleader, drummer and NEA jazz master Chico Hamilton has died. He was 92 years old.
Born Foreststorn Hamilton in Los Angeles in 1921, Hamilton's music career began with some notable high school classmates including future legends in their own right, Dexter Gordon and Charles Mingus. He eventually went on to perform and tour with Lester Young, Lena Horne and Gerry Mulligan before putting together his first quintet in 1955.
A landmark group that forged the sound of West Coast jazz while featuring the reeds of Buddy Collette, guitarist Jim Hall, Carson Smith on bass and cellist Fred Katz, the group evolved through a wealth of jazz talent, including Eric Dolphy, Gabor Szabo and Charles Lloyd, who joined the band in 1960.
