Carsten Pieper Thanks to Sven B. Schreiber once again for the hint, this time especially for pointing out the two hidden bonus tracks incl. Van the Man's The Way Young Lovers Do, which has long been a favourite of mine
(nevertheless I chose another favourite sure to the public accessibility ;-) )
James Hamilton described these live recordings as experiments, but to my ears this big band compositions sound quite mature! Favorite track: The Jig Is Up.

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) Couldn't resist buying this EP, too. Again some brilliant big band sound! Well, the high qualoty is not really surprising, after having listened to James Hamilton's other releases. But - surprise, surprise - it contains two unexpected bonus tracks: "African Village", and a cover version of a Van Morrison classic - "The Way Young Lovers Do". Favorite track: The Jig Is Up.

Richard Huxley The BASCA award winning James Hamilton's debut EP. Not a lot of Jazz in my collection, but this is well worth a punt. ;) Favorite track: Riding Crops are not a Plaything.

about

James Hamilton Jazz Orchestra Leeds

Northern Irish born, Leeds based composer/trumpet player. The orchestra was set up ages ago and has been the agent of ruin on my life ever since. I got into jazz for the money, fame and girls, unfortunately I was well over half a century too late. In 2011 the orchestra won a British Composers Award, 2 Jazz Yorkshire awards and a partridge in a pear tree, the search for money and fame continues. ... more
