Our Take

Hampton Hawes, the jazz pianist with a flair for the dramatic, brings us a compilation of three classic albums in this latest release. With a sound that is as smooth as silk and as vibrant as a neon sign, Hawes captivates listeners with his impeccable piano skills and undeniable charm.

The first album, "All Night Session! Vol. 1," takes us on a journey through the late-night jazz clubs of the 1950s. Hawes' fingers dance across the keys with precision and finesse, while his bandmates keep the groove going strong. Tracks like "Crazeology" and "Blues for Jacque" are highlights that showcase Hawes' versatility and virtuosity.

Moving on to "Hampton Hawes Trio," we are treated to a more intimate and laid-back vibe. Hawes' delicate touch on tracks like "Yardbird Suite" and "Sonora" is a testament to his mastery of the jazz piano. The chemistry between Hawes and his fellow musicians is palpable, creating a sense of cohesion and camaraderie that is rare to find in modern jazz recordings.

Rounding out the compilation is "Four!" where Hawes explores a more experimental side of his musicality. The energy and excitement on tracks like "Hip" and "Buzzy" are infectious, leaving listeners tapping their feet and nodding their heads in approval. Hawes' boldness and creativity shine through on this album, cementing his status as a true jazz genius.

Overall, "Three Classic Albums Plus" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado looking to expand their musical horizons. Hampton Hawes' timeless sound and undeniable talent make this compilation a standout in the world of jazz music.
