I used to have one of Hamilton's Impulse recording, long gone. But I was reintroduced in the early '70's after discovering 'Jazz Canto', more or less an ode to the 'beats'. Hamilton and Bob Dorough put that together, along with another disc named 'Blues Canto' (which I still haven't heard). Fred Katz did some arranging on here. I'm going to have to explore the Chico Hamilton canon again.

thanks

A friend of mine burned a CD of an original recording of these guys, I've been listening to it nonstop.

@60otaku4 Silly me, of course I got it through Amazon. It's still listed there by typing 'jazz canto'.

nao1875さん、コメントをありがとうございます。

チェロの導入やピアノレスというユニークな楽器編成は室内楽的サ­ウンドを標榜したこのコンボならではという感じですね。

ピアニストのラスフリーマンが書いたこの楽曲はウエストコースト­ジャズが遺した名曲のひとつではないかと思います。
