Every Hamilton band finds the players thoroughly enjoying each other’s, and the ensemble’s, playing. Such a pleasure to experience!

Saw this show...One of the most entertaining jazz shows I've seen in years. All three are top flight players - and Foreman is a genuinely funny man. Met all of them as they toured the MIM the day before the show. All are complete gentlemen....and Foreman is a funny man offstage, too. What a pleasure..

Bruce Forman is a swingman with an immense capacity for musical ideas, so much so that he dialogues incessantly with himself. Incredible!
