kumakuma Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks for writing this. I'm a big Scott Hamilton fan but there are a couple of albums on your list that I don't have yet.

chtgrubbs Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks for the great list. I have also been a Hamilton fan since his first LPs released by Concord records back in the 70's. Some of my favorite of recent years have been his discs with the Eddie Higgins trio. Also, if you are unfamiliar with it you should check out Harry Allen's disc "Blue Skies". It's a gorgeous sounding disc recorded live to two-track analog by John Marks. Link to comment
JoeWhip Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 I have the Harry Allen disc. Indeed it is superb. Link to comment
ted_b Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Nice write-up. His fone recordings are all done in DSD, unedited. The DSD versions, therefore, are VERY good (assuming your dac can handle them). "We're all bozos on this bus"....F.T.

NipperDog Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 My favorite studio by Hamilton is one that's a little harder to find, entitled Radio City. Link to comment
creativepart Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I wasn't familiar with Scott Hamilton's work. So, I looked him up on Qobuz. Good stuff! Added to my library. But his appearance from album to album is shockingly different. Hard to tell it's the same guy.
