I first heard the genius of Jeff at a dinner club in Burbank, CA. and was immediately hooked! As a singer, I recognized the musicality of his style and told him how much I enjoyed the love affair he had with his drums.
DANG ! alright Jeff Now you got my brain going overtime trying to keep all this mind while jamming hard rock/jazz/ whatever happens. Especially trying to be a musical drummer, singinging the parts, using dynamics, all of it great stuff !!!! I'm 68 and still rocking hard, always trying to improve
Jeff has such an original style - his rapid fire M16 style bursts within the time signature adds so much spice to the songs - And no one - No One - uses brushes like Jeff.
His work with Pizzarelli is great. You should try listening to Jeff Hamilton's album with his trio, “Live!” It's my favorite album of his. Hamilton's work with John Clayton with their jazz orchestra is amazing too, check that out!
Looks like Jeff wants to be a Hamilton . He grew up in snare drum . You will never grow up in snare drum like him . Oscar yeah he grew up in floor tom . Musicians don't play games they play drums etc

What a pleasure to hear Jeff Hamilton, whether he plays or discusses music! His musical philosophy is worth studying.
Jeff is one of my favorites, thanks for posting!

HUMILITY AT ITS BEST
Found Jeff on a John Pizzarelli "Dear Mr. Sinatra" CD. I was impressed with his drumming and style. Wish the recordings (sound) was better though!
