Well, if I'm gonna claim that Scott sounds so great, I guess I'd better put my music files where my mouth is, eh? Check out these samples:

My Foolish Heart: [522K] - from Scott's best-selling Scott Hamilton with Strings, one of his best-engineered recordings. He's never sounded more sumptuous, IMHO...

I Can't Give You Anything But Love: [293K] - the pace picks up a bit here to a nice loping swing, Scott's forté [well okay, one of]. Dig the ingenious little twists and turns in his solo.

Blue Wales: [340K] - pickin' it up even more with dem ol' twelve bars. Scott's mastery of extended blowing over blues changes is so well-regarded, "real" bluesmen have invited him to guest on their records.

Two Eighteen: [682K] - a good taste of a great little swinger that Scott wrote and I really enjoy. Scott doesn't write all that many songs, which I think is a shame.
