After debuting at No. 1 last week, Chico Hamilton’s album El Chico falls to No. 2 with 507,000, a sales slide of 90%. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Chico Hamilton. This nine-song debut EP shows the promise that Chico Hamilton has. El Chico is the best essence of Chico Hamilton.
This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Marcheta - For me, this is the best of the album. This Dream is astounding. Album opener Conquistadores is a bright, upbeat ditty. It took me a little time but I ended up loving El Moors. El Chico couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Strange. I find myself hearing bits of Helena here and there throughout my waking hours.
