Jazz Saxophone Star Scott Hamilton returns to NativeDSD with Poinciana, his 8th Album in Stereo DSD 64 from Fone Jazz. Poinciana features Hamilton playing in a Jazz Quartet with Paolo Birro, Aldo Zunino and Alfred Kramer.

Among the songs on the album are Poinciana by Nat Simon that gives the title to the album plus Birk’s Works by Dizzy Gillespie and Put On A Happy Face by Charles Strouse.

Giulio Cesare Ricci tells us “This album is part of recordings I made during the concerts at the Fonè Music Festival Piaggio in 2021. I recorded this album at the Auditorium Piaggio located inside the famous Museum in Pontedera, the place where Piaggio was born and where it still continues to produce today.

It is a state-of-the-art recording with no sound manipulation, no equalization, no reverb, no compression and expansion. With natural sound and true timbre to best enhance the acoustics of the Auditorium of the Piaggio Museum. I used a “field effect” recording technique to bring the listener the live effect as if the listener were present at the performance.”
