Herts Jazz’s opening concert at the Maltings Arts Theatre in St Albans on Tuesday, April 3 will feature the Scott Hamilton Quartet.
Tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton from Rhode Island released his first recording in 1977 when he was just 23.
He surprised critics and fans alike, with the depth and maturity of his playing.
Scott went on to become an international jazz star, at a time when this no longer seemed possible with most jazz instrumentalists.

Joining Scott Hamilton will be John Pearce on piano, Dave Green on bass and Steve Brown on drums.
