Knoxville Jazz Orchestra: Jeff Hamilton Trio Meets the KJO at Bijou Theatre

About

Jeff Hamilton is quite simply one of the most exciting drummers in jazz. Whether he's working as a sideman with the trios of Monty Alexander, Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown, the big bands of Count Basie and Woody Herman or co-leading his own Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, his playing is always original, swinging, and awe-inspiring. For this special evening, Jeff brings his working trio featuring pianist Tamir Hendelman and Knoxville's own Jon Hamar to spur the KJO to new heights.
