Scott Hamilton, Howard Alden, and Frank Tate exemplify what can be called chamber jazz. This is intimate music-making at its best! The jazz saxophone superstar, jazz guitar legend, and veteran jazz bassist perform together with a wonderfully relaxed feel. Eleven great tunes are exceptionally presented by this splendid trio, keeping the melody front and center throughout. Recording a full CD together for the first time, Hamilton and Alden demonstrate their generation s reverence for straight-ahead melodic jazz beautifully.
