Post Description

People familiar with the top tier of jazz sideman in New York City 
will know of Tardo Hammer’s name. Tardo is a fixture in mainstream
Manhattan jazz clubs and has performed in Europe and Japan with some 
of the world's leading jazz artists. Perhaps because the demand for his
capabilities as a sideman with the likes of Annie Ross, Johnny Griffin, 
Charles Davis and Grant Stewart. Tardo's own releases as a leader have
been somewhat intermittent: a couple of late 90's release on Sharp Nine,
and his earlier excellent Cellar Live offering Simple Pleasure. On
Swinging On A Star we gain some further insight into Mr. Hammer's taste,
musical values, and considerable strengths as a musician. Tardo is 
joined here by rhythm mates Lee Hudson: a solid bassist in the gut-string 
tradition of Oscar Pettiford and Steve Williams; a drummer cut from the
same cloth of his D.C. brethren Jimmy Cobb and Billy Hart.
