Jeff Hamilton is a master and inspiration.

i love that in the wide camera shot you can see all 4 of the heels swinging exactly together

John Clayton John Clayton JOHN CLAYTON ! ..totally makes this happen. He has such a perfect sound, and the love just shines from his face.

He's quickly become one of my favorite players. Impeccable taste, and this band is top-notch. This is the definition of swing.

to say Jeff Hamilton has good chops is probably the most understated thing I've heard in the last couple of years!!! He is a world class musician who happens to play drums.

The great ones play in such a relaxed mode - Jeff makes it look so effortless - doesn’t get any better than this - spot on.

Really great swing and great tone. Wow.

Yes! It just doesn't get any better than this.😎

Jeff Hamilton…WOW. Just like playing with Carol Lou in Richmond, Indiana.

This guy is good and has the greatest rhythm section on the planet playing behind him.

swings so hard. yeahhhh!!!!

Love watching & Listening to Great Musicians Playing Jazz the way it's supposed to be Played. With Style, Smooth Transitions and Exciting! Love it!

Just found Graham Dechter (on KZfaq) today. Excellent. Nice job landing this rhythm section too! (I grew up with Jeff H in Richmond and remember him aceing the drums contest in elementary school with perfect rhythm).

Graham, Jeff, John and Tamir make for a swinging jazz rendition of this jazz tune!!

Thoroughly enjoyable rendition of a nicely swinging standard. That these four play so well together is a tribute to their individual talents, and any one of them could claim leadership of an identical quartet- this time Graham Dechter deserved and earned his opportunity. Follow them all on Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra clips.

One of my favorite tunes played by great musicians. Thanks for the listen.

It is impossible to listen to this without tapping my foot, nodding my head and smiling non-stop.

How can Jeff's high-hat sound like it's dragging, but also sound like it's right on time?! A master of swing.

Really awesome!!

Fabulous!

Awesome!

i looooove this

Love it! All of the tunes sound great!

World-class musicians

Fantabulous guitar!!

Tremendo!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL.

Jeff Hamilton man!!!! Very nice preformence... beautiful playing by all!

Bloody fabulous music from perfect quartet !

Amazing! Nice job!

I saw the Hamilton clayton quartet with russel Malone the night of the Ray Brown tribute in OC . Special night. They were tight. The Ray Brown family was there too.

So cool and swings. Great group.

Fantastic quartet and brilliant music

Good music,good musicians !

Nice to see Mr. Clayton on bass. This is a great Ellington tune.

Great to watch you do this live! I enjoyed it. You version has influenced me a lot, and I thank you for bringing swing back!

classy!

Totally Magnificent! Wish it never ended ! Yo ! X

When all is said and done, young Graham Dechter is already one of the greatest of jazz guitarists. The expressions on the faces of Hamilton and Clayton as he solos signify it best. I THINK I hear some influences in Dechter's playing from other guitar greats--Montgomery, Green, Kessel for certain--but Dechter's talent and completeness as a jazz player make him stand out stylistically and musically on his own. He's uniquely inspired. He comes along beyond the Golden post-Parker years which sadly are tailing off in this century (hopefully only temporarily), and if this essential music is to prevail in our day and beyond, we must have such jazz prodigies as Dechter. Phil Hamilton is a wonderful drummer and Clayton and Handelman would sound great in any era. A vital group!

Great play what a performance ! and..the best accompany you can wish... John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton ! super ! nice sound. love your guitar.. Fender twin sound ! thanks for posting this wonderful song

new fan ! from the Basque Country in North of Spain! waow

Incredible the Talent in this band. Smokin'.....

I'm an instant fan, and a little envious😁! What taste, great band all around.

goooooooooooood!!!!!!

Happy faces and smiles along the play. Charming.

Yo, Graham! How nice to run across you on this Sunday morning in quarantine...good way to start my day! Hugs!

Excellent guitar solo along with everything else. Love all four of these guys/aliens, lol. Wow

Jeff plays in such a cool 😎 controlled way ... makes it look so effortless.

И пианист просто чудо!

great song and you guys swing like hell. Thank you! I´m transcribing my 2nd Graham solo (as a pianoplayer). I like your lines, phrasing.... hope you come to Germany

One of my favorite jazz guitarists. Transcribing your solo is oh so difficult, but so very fun

SENSATIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah insane playing... all those guys were incredible

Superb rendition of a great number.

thats the way I like it!

Гамильтон везде успевает-какой молодец!

Santo nino de atocha!

My father would have loved working with ! He would have been your clarinet or sax & totally been with you ! Amazing!! XXX

What a grove

Just killer...killer.

4:52 real, solid jazz in the best tradition played with maestria by all … It just carries you away ..

Huffffff emociona!!!!!

And how much does this Incredible Joy cost? Its absolutely priceless. The Soul is paid.

When I was listening to this pianist all I could hear was "The meek shall inherit". He seems to be holding back some POWOW, that comes out ONLY at the required moment. Its not a daily thing,

This tips so hard

Merci

Swingin'!

I can hear sooooo many influences, however I am partial to Jimmy Ponder. His chord soloing is so pianistic, Wes is there too. His Rhythm Section is swinging [KUDOS] which allows Graham to 'pick up the pieces'. He is a phenom!!!!

...yeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!!!!!!!!!

Even Wes would be impressed!

Hot. Damn.

Great song, great musicians!! Funny, at 07:43 the guys exchange glancess because a few seconds earlier something gone wrong... lol

Amazing... Does anyone have o know where can i find the sheet music for this and other Graham's songs?

Really great playing man... Do you have lesson's video?

Eccezionale giovane chitarrista

Where it’s at!

Swinging hard.

Wow so he couldn’t find anybody that day LOL. Watta lineup of LA music gods!

Rock may not ever speak for us.

С такими ребятами и я бы с удовольствием поиграл Мурку по джазовому

This tempo is tricky to swing on without sounding ploddy

Don't everybody clap at once. Great performance to say the least, and was probably an American audience. It probably didn't meet with their approval because the guitar player didn't "shred" any riffs like a heavy metal guitar player does. Give me a break. Those of us on the net who know talent think you deserve a better audience. You've got the touch. Keep up the good work. Don't let a group like these deadheads in the audience get you down.

Dechter doesn't take a single break in his solo! It may sound like he's playing good notes, but to me it's a sign of maturity when you don't play constantly through the entire tune.

Oh yeah, right in the pocket.

Great! Polished production and performance by all. Guitarist is leader ...should be louder in the mix...!

1:24

swinging.

8:10

This is the video you should play for someone who says, “I’m really not into jazz. I just don’t get it.” These cats cook!

For those of you who DONT feel qualified to express an opinion of this performance,just watch the faces of the players for their appreciation of what is played by the wonderful guitarist.He proves that,even though he has great ability,it is his statements and choice of notes that makes him great.The whole group swings mightily,even at this leasurely tempo.An exercise in good taste!And I am pretty sure that I would play better if I were with these guys!

Definitive.

Don't you just hate it when the double bass player takes a solo, I mean, who do these people think they are ????

Just kinda Plain Jane for me!!!!!
