It's About Time (Jimmy Hamilton album)

It's About Time is an album by saxophonist Jimmy Hamilton which was recorded in 1961 and released on the Swingville label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states: "Hamilton is matched in a sextet with flugelhornist Clark Terry, trombonist Britt Woodman, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Mel Lewis for a set of mostly blues. Terry and Woodman are quite exuberant throughout". All About Jazz called it "a very strong album, and it has a home-run swing".
