Dates for 2008
Jeff Hamilton Trio - Thursday 9th October 9.00pm - Nairn
Community Centre
Jeff
has been known worldwide in his own right as a trio leader/orchestra
director in partnership with renouned international bassist John
Clayton, in past years as part of legendary groups such as Ray Brown
Trio and Monty Alexander Trio and also in more recent worldwide
spread performances as Diana Krall’s backing drummer.
His vibrant swinging performances bring out the best in all groups
and Ken Ramage is delighted to have him back on a Nairn stage to
introduce the fabulous award winning young pianist Tamir Hendelman
(yet another to add to the collection of pianists for Nairn) and
bassist Christoph Luty – known for his big, natural sound,
melodic basslines and articulate playing, all to head what is likely
to be a busy Autumn/Winter season for Ramage Jazz as they seek to
build up plans and funding to the major Homecoming Festival programme
for early August 2009.
This concert is hopefully something of a homecoming preview as
it is very much hoped that Jeff will be available for the Festival
next year ... where he would be encouraged to support the theme
and explore further his interest in his possible Scottish roots
– something he started on his last visit to Nairn where he
gained the inspiration for his 2000 live recording “Hamilton
House” which very much drew on the spirit of the bagpipes
and original Scottish reel tune.
For tickets please contact Ken Ramage
or buy them over the counter at Nairn Community Centre
