Some Other Street - Johnny Hamlin Quintet

On A Little Street In Singapore
A Hip Trip Down Some Other Street
Johnny Hamlin Quintet
Philips PHS 600-060
1963

From the back cover: The Hamlin Quintet has become an established regular on the nightclub circuit from Las Vegas to Chicago. The group has appeared frequently in the last few years in the lounge of the Riviera Hotel and the Wagon Wheel in Reno. Though such locations as these do not usually allow for much of a jazz presentation to be highlighted, one might say Hamlin's unit has incorporated a jazz feeling into their work in spite of their audiences.
