He came to prominence as sideman for\u00a0Lester Young,\u00a0Gerry Mulligan,\u00a0Count Basie, and\u00a0Lena Horne. Hamilton became a bandleader, first with a quintet featuring the cello as a lead instrument, an unusual choice for a jazz band in the 1950s, and subsequently leading bands that performed\u00a0cool jazz,\u00a0post bop, and\u00a0jazz fusion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chico_Hamilton” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read more at Wikipedia” button_alignment=”right” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” link_option_url=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AFD2MgLiwmo” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Watch a video of Chico Hamilton – Live at The Village Vanguard (1981)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
