Legendary Jazz drummer Jeff Hamilton wrote this song as an ode to his drum teacher. A beautiful, tiny ballad with an incredible warm brushes solo that Jeff Hamilton plays on snare and cymbals. The beauty and finesse happening here are of extreme musicality.
During our 2019-Jeff Hamilton-week on Drummerszone.com we launch six videos from the Drummerszone-Vault with the Legendary Jazz drummer. The videos include the recording of three songs and three of Jeff Hamilton's lessons and great anecdotes during a special in-studio evening with his Jeff Hamilton Trio. All songs were recorded at the Sandlane Recording Facilities in The Netherlands live before a selected audience.
'Time Passes On', written by Jeff Hamilton as an ode to his first drum teacher John McMann. Quoting Jeff, remembering one of his biggest influences:
"[...] He also would stand behind me with the butt end of a marching stick and pound the tempo between my shoulder blades. I'd stand there as a little boy and cry. He would be in jail today if he did that! But he really stressed how important time was to me."
