Ocotber 20: Acclaimed Lachy Hamilton 'Alchemy' Album Launch Lachy Hamilton is part of the new wave of talented
jazz musicians to hit the Australian music scene. The Sydney-based
saxophonist and composer recently launched his debut album Alchemy to
critical acclaim receiving favourable reviews from Australia’s key jazz
critics (see below).
Hamilton has toured and performed with jazz luminaries such as James
Morrison, Patti Austin, Sarah McKenzie and James Muller at venues
around the world including Dizzy’s Coca-Cola Club (New York), the Green
Mill (Chicago), the 2017 Jazz Educators Network Conference (New
Orleans), Telluride Jazz Festival (Colorado), Melbourne’s Hamer Hall
and the Sydney Opera House. He tours regularly in Australian capital
cities to include Paris Cat in Melbourne; Foundry 616, The Basement
(now Mary’s Underground) and LazyBones in Sydney ; Brisbane’s Dee Bop;
and Canberra’s Smith’s Alternative. He will be touring New Zealand in
early 2020.
Hamilton was a member of the Academy Jazz Orchestra recording the
Aria-nominated album “James Morrison with his Academy Jazz Orchestra”.
He was a finalist in the James Morrison Scholarship in both 2014 and
2015. He was also selected as one of the 2015 Telluride Jazz All Stars
performing in Telluride, Colorado with Denver University’s Josh Quinlan
and Bob Montgomery, and American jazz and rhythm and blues saxophonist
Ernie Watts. Hamilton is the founder of various groups including
“FLIP”, “The Swing Merchants” and “Ekki and the Scatterbrains”. He
formed the Lachy Hamilton Quartet and Quintet ensembles, and has
performed with the James Morrison Quintet.
He completed a Bachelor of Music (Honours) at the James Morrison
Academy of Music in 2017. He studied under Jeff Clayton, Mat Jodrell,
Graeme Lyall, Carl Mackey and James Morrison, and was the sole
recipient of the 2016 Excellence in Performance Award.
He currently plays with Judy Bailey’s Jazz Connection (lead alto),
Kwame, as a sideman for various jazz groups, as well as his self-titled
ensembles.
The Alchemist reviews:
The Australian, Eric
Myers, 11 May 2019 says: “The Alchemist ... album brings together five
brilliant young musicians who will be household names in Australian
jazz tomorrow.”
The Sydney Morning
Herald, John Shand, 29 June 2019 says: “Saxophonist Lachy Hamilton
joins a rich tradition of programmatic works of Australian jazz ...
“[The Alchemist’s] Urim and Thummin spawns a Hamilton tenor solo
showing a striking ability to alchemise a liquid flow of ideas into a
much more robust and compelling statement.”
ABC Jazz, Home Cooked,
Henry Rasmussen, 25 March 2019 says: “We kick off this week's Aussie
jazz playlist with music from a young Sydney saxophonist and composer
by the name of Lachy Hamilton. Hear highlights from his release
'Alchemy' - featuring a host of up-and-coming young talent from down
under.”
Jazz and Beyond, Barry
O’Sullivan, March 2019 says: “This debut album ... [represents] a
highly significant milestone for Hamilton, in what promises to be a
stellar career for this talented saxophonist and composer. Alchemy is a
tasteful and impressive debut that firmly positions him as a
distinctive talent to watch.”
