In December 2000, the world jazz community lost one of its most beloved heroes. Throughout his career, Milt Hinton, known to many as "The Judge", performed with hundreds of the greatest musicians and biggest stars in the world, from Bing Crosby to Barbra Streisand, Louis Armstrong to Quincy Jones, Sammy Davis Jr., Judy Garland, Harry Belafonte, Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway; played every episode of Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners, and was a staff musician with all the major networks at one time or another. Chiaroscuro Records was fortunate to have a relationship with Milt Hinton, as both a sideman and a leader, that spanned the period from 1973 - 1995. This CD is a 77 minute compilation of some of The Judge's finest Chiaroscuro moments, and includes performances with Dizzy, Zoot Sims, Cab Calloway, Lionel Hampton, Ruby Braff, Joe Venuti, Jay McShann, Flip Phillips, Bucky Pizzarelli, Dick Hyman, Kenny Davern, Bob Wilber and many more. It includes previously unissued material, and proceeds from the sale of this CD will go to The Milton J. Hinton Scholarship Fund, Inc.

The great bassist Milt Hinton recorded fairly frequently for the Chiaroscuro label during 1973-1979 and 1989-1995. Shortly after his death in late 2000, this sampling of his Chiaroscuro work was compiled, featuring 17 selections from his two periods with the label plus a previously unissued solo bass performance of "Joshua." Hinton, who made an enormous number of recordings during his very productive career, is heard with many of his favorite musical friends, including Ruby Braff, Kenny Davern, Bob Wilber, Flip Phillips, Joe Venuti, and Danny Barker. Though Hinton is mostly in the forefront, many other musicians have their spots with the music, ranging from Dixieland-flavored to small-group swing and boppish moments. Among the highlights are the humorous "Milt's Rap," "Old Man Time," "Shine" (with Joe Venuti), "Rosetta" (with both Jay McShann and Ralph Sutton on pianos), and "Jumping at the Woodside" (featuring the hard-swinging Flip Phillips).

Bassist Milt Hinton probably appeared on more records than any other musician in the world, and he remained a vital figure in jazz even into his 80s. He grew up in Chicago and worked with many legendary figures from the late '20s to the mid-'30s, including Freddie Keppard, Jabbo Smith, Tiny Parham (with whom he made his recording debut in 1930), Eddie South, Fate Marable, and Zutty Singleton. He was with Cab Calloway's orchestra and his later small group during 1936-1951. Considered the best bassist before the rise of Jimmy Blanton in 1939, Hinton was featured on "Pluckin' the Bass" (1939) and was an ally of Dizzy Gillespie in modernizing Calloway's music.
After leaving Calloway, Hinton worked in clubs with Joe Bushkin, had brief stints with Count Basie and Louis Armstrong's All-Stars, and in 1954 became a staff musician at CBS, appearing on a countless number of recordings (jazz and otherwise) during the next 15 years; everything from Jackie Gleason mood music and polka bands, to commercials and Buck Clayton jam sessions. By the 1970s, Hinton was appearing regularly at jazz parties and festivals, and his activities did not slow down for the next two decades; in 1995, he toured with the Statesmen of Jazz. Although a modern soloist, Hinton also kept the art of slap bass alive. A very skilled photographer, Hinton released two books of his candid shots of jazz musicians, including one (-Bass Line) which has his fascinating memoirs. Milt Hinton recorded as a leader for Bethlehem, Victor (both in 1955), Famous Door, Black & Blue, and Chiaroscuro, and as a sideman for virtually every label.
