From the first outbreaks of Chico Hamilton’s distinctive bossa groove and press-roll variationsof same on the opening track “Evan’s-Ville,” you can tell that this veteran of the jazz wars showsvirtually no signs of fatigue in his 85th year. Indeed, this compulsively listenable disc is but thesecond of four releases that the durable Hamilton put out in 2006 -- and like its brethren, thisone has more than its share of surprises and delights.
