Chico Hamilton Trio

The Chico Hamilton Trio album, recorded by drummer and bandleader Chico Hamilton, features sessions from 1953, 1954, and 1956 and was released on the Pacific Jazz label. The album includes Hamilton's initial recordings for Pacific Jazz in 1953 and 1954, originally released as six tracks on a 10-inch album, plus four additional recordings from 1956. The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states: "An entry point recording for Chico Hamilton, it displays his savory good common sense well before being more trend and fashion conscious, as psychedelia and fusion took over commercialized jazz."
