Hello Everybody!!
Hope all is well...now at six months on the street, here's another roundup on Chico
Hamilton's Koch Jazz release FORESTSTORN.
In the first two weeks of November Chico performed a series of IN STORE
appearances for Borders Bookstore, performing solo on his drum kit, interacting
with the audience, and signing copies of his FORESTSTORN CD!! These appearances
took place in Washington, DC, Columbia, MD, Wynnewood, PA, White Plains, NY, and
Boston, MA, and were supported by on air interviews at WEAA-FM Radio in Baltimore,
WITR-FM Radio in Philadelphia, and both WERS-FM Radio and WGHB-FM Radio in
Boston. A fair amount of major coverage was received in the respective such as this

The November issues of Down Beat, Jazz Times and Modern Drummer also saw
MAJOR features on Chico start coming in Down Beat, Jazz Times, and Modern

The New Year will see Chico and his Euphoria group featured in an advertising campaign
for Macanudo cigars and a variety of public events in support of the ad campaign, dubbed
Jazz Macanudo.
The New Year will also see a variety of online promotions ongoing thru the first three
months of 2002, including online chats and a live cybercast.
Also in the works is the possibility of a remix promotional single of various tracks from
FORESTSTORN from a DJ'ing LEGEND, to keep up the interest internationally for the
FORESTSTORN album.
And lastly, we are putting together a NICE lobbying campaign to see if we can get Chico
his first Grammy nomination in his 80th year!! So stay tuned for developing news on the
Grammy front, with nominations being announced January 3rd, 2002.
