FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
June 5th, 2001
 
Joyous Shout! is HAPPY to announce that June 12th will see the release of
Chico Hamilton's debut recording for Koch Jazz (www.kochentertainment.com),
FORESTSTORN. The new album features Chico's young "Euphoria" group 
with Cary DeNigris on guitar, Paul Ramsey on bass, Erik Lawrence on alto and
soprano saxes and flute, and Evan Schwam on tenor sax as well as Special Guest
Appearances from Former Bandmembers Arthur Blythe, Steve Turre and his wife
Akua Dixon, Eric Person, former Spin Doctors guitarist Eric Schenkman (a student
of Chico's), Blues Traveler front man John Popper (also a student of Chico's), and
Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones.
 
From Donald Elfman's liner notes to FORESTSTORN:
 
"In his original thinking about this new recording, Chico decided that he wanted to re-
affirm the joy of the groove and the need to truly involve people - players and listeners. 
In addition, he wanted to thank and pay tribute to his late son Foreststorn - it's Chico's
given name too - by making a truly heartfelt new recording.  So he gathered together
true musical friends - they've either come through his bands or deeply acknowledged
his influence - and made an album of celebration.  The guest stars are extraordinary
individual voices but they have learned Chico's lovely life lesson and work with his
talented and aptly named young band Euphoria in wondrous ways.  What emerges is
a different kind of jazz album for 2001 - don't look for long showboating solos or any one
person stealing the spotlight. It's a total experience that is rich with warmly familiar
elements - the blues, gospel, song, dance and a timeless groove of which Chico says,
'You know it takes all kinds of grooves to make a groove'."
