• This famous 1956 Los Angeles studio session - one of Hampton Hawes’ best - was recorded in just one night – from the late hours of November 12 to the early hours of November 13, and is much more like a live date, with no repeated numbers and, consequently, no alternate takes.

• While Hawes’ was most often heard in a trio format, this release (originally released on 3 LPs on the Contemporary label) showcases the pianist in a quartet setting - with the remarkable guitar of Jim Hall and a rhythm section of Red Mitchell on bass and Bruz Freeman, drums.

• A follower of Charlie Parker in both his music and lifestyle, Hawes waxed this recording nearly two years before being imprisoned for heroin possession. Although he was supposed to serve a five-year jail term, his sentence was revoked by President John F. Kennedy. Hawes resumed his career after his release, playing and recording until suffering a fatal stroke in Los Angeles, on May 22, 1977.

• This 2CD set was previously re-issued on the Definitive label (DRCD11371) in 2007.

Reviews

The Jazz Rag - Ron Simpson

A single all-night session, no repeats, no alternative takes, produced two hours of relaxed, very personal jazz.
