Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra coming to Spokane January 14th, 2012!
Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra at INB Performing Arts Center January 14th, 2012
The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra (CHJO) is both a torch-bearer for the long and proud tradition of jazz big bands and a constant innovator of the genre. Perhaps the most-respected and venerable big band on the scene today, the Grammy nominated CHJO marked its 25th anniversary in 2010. Co-leader John Clayton is a world-class bassist and peerless arranger, having a platinum record and seven Grammy Award nominations to his credit. Jeff Clayton, his brother and co-leader as well, is a sax and flute master. The third co-leader, drummer Jeff Hamilton, is a rhythm powerhouse who heads up his own Jeff Hamiton Trio.
The CHJO is consistently recognized by peers and audiences alike for the high level of its musicianship and arrangements and for both keeping the big band tradition alive and thriving.
