About this album

Scott's Buddy is a superb straight-ahead swing album from two master tenor saxophonists, Scott Hamilton and Buddy Tate. Issued in 1981, it brings together Hamilton’s cool, fluent modern swing with Tate’s earthy, hard-driving approach, creating a meeting of generations that feels relaxed but never routine. Built around standards and blues-informed originals, the set shows how deeply both players understood the jazz tradition while keeping the music conversational and melodic. For listeners drawn to classic tenor pairing sessions, it stands as one of the most appealing examples of post-bop swing with a strong mainstream feel.
