NAPA VALLEY JAZZ SOCIETY: Jeff Hamilton is considered one of the best jazz drummers around. But this isn’t just our opinion, he was recently voted the #1 drummer in jazz.

From regular stints with jazz giants Lionel Hampton and Ray Brown, he has progressed to a legendary orchestral collaboration with his friend and colleague John Clayton. Jeff has been appearing at top jazz venues around the world with his own wonderful trio and its incredible cast of collaborators.

There have been some great jazz trios over the years, and most would agree that this is one of the finest ever. CD success and critical praise attest to this exceptional group and their high-level performances.
