about the record
Recorded over the course of two years, Hamilton Sessions captures the sound of a group of musicians coming together to build something organic and timeless. Tracked primarily at Rue Jacobs’ home studio on Hamilton Way, the album features contributions from producer and multi-instrumentalist Jihoon Kang (saxophone, flute, drums), touring musician and producer John Redwood (drums), composer and producer Rue Jacobs (keys, drums, vocals), and producer/multi-instrumentalist Satchel Brown (bass, guitar).
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Lonnie Liston Smith and Roy Ayers, the group blends warm analog textures, cosmic grooves, and live musicianship into a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. Recorded largely one instrument at a time, the sessions preserve the chemistry and spontaneity that define the group’s live performances. The result is a collection of retro-inspired funk with a cosmic edge.
