He attended Indiana University and later studied with John von Ohlen. Hamilton was influenced by Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Mel Lewis, “Philly Joe” Jones, and Shelly Manne. In 1974, he got his first big break playing with the New Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. He attained a childhood goal in 1977 when he joined Woody Herman and the Thundering Herd, with whom he made several recordings. From 1983 to 1987, he performed with Ella Fitzgerald, the Count Basie Orchestra, Rosemary Clooney, and Monty Alexander. His current trio—comprising himself, Tamir Hendelman, and Christoph Luty—has released The Best Things Happen and Studio 4 (Azica); and Symbiosis, Red Sparkle, and Through the Years (Capri). The Los Angeles Jazz Society named Hamilton and his musical partner, John Clayton, musicians of the year for 2006. Hamilton has toured with his own trio, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra (CHJO), and Diana Krall. CHJO’s recording, The L.A. Treasures Project, was nominated for a Grammy. Hamilton has been featured on more than 200 recordings with artists such as Ray Brown, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, Milt Jackson, Rosemary Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Mel Torme, John Pizzarelli, Benny Carter, Lalo Schifrin, George Shearing, Dr. John, Clark Terry, Gene Harris, Toshiko Akioshi, Scott Hamilton, Harry “Sweets” Edison, Keely Smith, Bill Holman, Herb Ellis, Barney Kessel, Paul McCartney, Queen Latifah, Gladys Knight, Mark Murphy, Wilford Brimley, and Scott Hamilton. He is a four-time winner of the Modern Drummer magazine readers’ poll. In 2014, Hamilton was inducted into the Jazz Cruise Hall of Fame and was artist in residence at the 2017 Monterey Jazz Festival.
