Man from Two Worlds is an album by American jazz drummer Chico Hamilton featuring performances recorded in 1963 for the Impulse! label.[1] The CD reissue added four compositions from Hamilton's previous album Passin' Thru (1962) as bonus tracks.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and stated: "Although it tended to get overlooked at the time, one of drummer Chico Hamilton's finest groups was his 1962–1963 quartet/quintet...this band placed a stronger emphasis on melody and softer sounds than the more avant-garde groups of the time but still pushed away at musical boundaries".[2]
