“Pianist Bob Hamilton helps to define the modern mainstream of jazz on his latest CD, WixWax. The music is harmonically complex but not forbidding, with the hyper opener, “Albino Franklie,” revealing itself to be an uptempo blues, “Grace” being a heartfelt ballad and “Dining And Dancing” having two sections that fit its title. The trio is tight throughout, with D’Angelo and Moore instantaneously following Hamilton’s ideas while the pianist is open to their musical suggestions.”
