Can't Help Swinging is an album by saxophonist Jimmy Hamilton which was recorded in 1961 and released on the Swingville label.[1] [2]
Scott Yanow of Allmusic states: "The Can't Help Swingin album showcases Hamilton with pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Earl Williams in a quartet. Although Hamilton plays some clarinet (most notably on the atmospheric 'Dancing on the Ceiling'), the emphasis throughout both sets is on his rarely heard tenor. He is less bop-oriented and more basic on the bigger horn than on his usual ax, swinging hard and showing just how strong a tenor player he could be. Worth exploring". All About Jazz said "Jimmy was the sole horn ... The tone is more intimate, showing his sweet side; it would have been perfect on the Moodsville label".[3]
