    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
    full apge article in the Boston Herald:

    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
    Drummer, and here's a sampler from Modern Drummer:

    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.

    Chico's upcoming performances in support of FORESTSTORN include:
       
    December 10th, 2001
