Triology - The Slow Road (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

I am hardly the first to point out the importance of tone in music. And while those other “T” qualities—taste and technique—certainly stand alongside to form a kind of Mount Rushmore-sized trifecta of musical importance, tone, arguably, reigns supreme. After all, while a good sound will go a long way to mitigate poor taste, there is no amount of technique in the world capable of blunting out a questionable tone. And speaking of other truisms in jazz, I’m also hardly the first to point out just how wonderful a tone (as well as those two other above-mentioned “T” qualities), the American-saxophonist Scott Hamilton, heard here in fine form with a group of equally “tone-forward” Canadian musical compatriots, has showcased without exception throughout his entire career. In fact, it was his remarkable tone (a good wind capable of blowing no ill, thus described by the late great Leonard Feather on the record jacket of Hamilton’s first ever release in 1977), that attracted so many to Hamilton’s anachronistically wonderful style and musical presence all those many years ago.
