Chico Hamilton Trio is an album by drummer and bandleader Chico Hamilton, recorded at sessions in 1953, 1954 and 1956 released on the Pacific Jazz label.
[2][3] The album features Hamilton's first recordings for Pacific Jazz from 1953 and 1954, six tracks originally released on a 10-inch album, along with an additional four recordings from 1956.
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos states: "An entry point recording for Chico Hamilton, it displays his savory good common sense well before being more trend and fashion conscious, as psychedelia and fusion took over commercialized jazz.
