Linley Hamilton has been the foremost trumpeter in Ireland
for the last 20 years. He is one of the most prolific figures in the jazz scene
on these islands between his role as a Radio broadcaster for the BBC, his
position as Professor of music at The Ulster University Magee and of course
meeting the demands of his musical performances.
He has released several albums as a leader as well as
appearing on several albums by Paul Brady and Eleanor McEvoy. Linley has also
performed on several occasions with Van Morrison.
'For the Record' sees Linley return with a quintet format
for his next creative project. A superb recording that highlights Linley's
sensational ability as a virtuoso horn player. Joining Linley are US stars Adam
Nussbaum on drums and Mark Egan on bass, Derek "Doc" O'Connor on
saxophone and Cian Boylan on piano.
Personnel: Linley Hamilton (trumpet, flugelhorn), Derek
O'Connor (tenor saxophone), Cian Boylan (piano, organ), Mark Egan (bass), Adam
Nussbaum (drums)
Press:
"Featuring two heavyweights of US jazz: Mark Egan, who
rose to fame as the bassist with the original Pat Metheny group; and Adam
Nussbaum, one of the most respected drummers of his generation who has played
with Michael Brecker and John Abercrombie... enjoyable proof that the hard-bop
flame is still burning brightly in the 21st century." - The Irish Times
"The music echoes soulful, Blue Note-era hard bop, with
bright solos buoyed by in-the-pocket grooves." - All About Jazz
