NEA Jazz Master Chico Hamilton at Jazz Gallery December 8, 2009

88-year old jazz legend/band leader/percussionist Foreststorn “Chico” Hamilton celebrates his latest album Twelve Tones of Love. Described as being “more creative and artistic than ever” (Hot House Jazz), Chico is considered one of the most important living jazz artists and composers. Despite being an octogenarian, he continues to compose music, release albums, tour regionally, and work with artists more than half his age.
