Hampton Hawes Trio at Irvine Bowl - Walkin'

[cidedwards31a]

My favorite pianist Hampton Hawes...... fly on Hamp!

[ocnoreen]

Have to always revisit to get my bebop Hamp fix. Quoting "Doodlin" Horace Silver on this cut which makes me laugh for joy..

[jgrodnik]

"All Night Session" was recorded in a single night with the Hampton Hawes trio plus Jim Hall on guitar. What a night that must have been!

Hawes is like Charlie Parker coming through the piano. Or like Bud Powell plus gospel. Anyway you look at it, he was a wonderful musician!

[nitenday12]

Everyday brings wonderful new surprises. Thanks for this one.

Yea 1955 - vintage Hawes. Nov '55 he recorded the great 'All Night Sessions' albums (now available on 2 CDS). When I first heard this last year on utube I was compelled to find it on CD. It's on the Hampton Hawes Trio Complete Sessions 2 CD set. One of the greatest piano players ever. Not only you & I my friend, but also Ahmad Jamal thinks so too - in a recent interview he referred to Hawes as 'The Master.' Great upload of a great musician - Hampton Hawes.

[60otaku3]

Thank you, adeduction-san!!

I also like both of Ahmad Jamal and Hampton Hawes.

@metalheadhell I agree wholeheartedly...Hampton Hawes playing also has personality and ebullience - a couple of qualities lacking in much of today's jazz. Not that I'm anti 'modern'.

[ocnoreen]

@metalheadhell you are so right! That is the scene today. How many notes can I play instead of what is truly important. The music needs to swing like Hamp always did.  The road to true music is littered with jazz musicans' corpses.

[spadge1able]

one of my heros swingy stuff just great.

[CalaGoloritzae]

Grandissimo pianista, purtroppo misconosciuto! - Wonderful pianist, sadly too little known!

[JohnnyGlory]

[freesiaboysince1986]

I like him!! because his technique is very fine and his piano sound is brilliant for me!!

[60otaku3]

コメントありがとうございます！

コンテンポラリー盤のトリオ物などもそうですが、ホーズはこの頃­の演奏がピークだったと思います。

[freesiaboysince1986]

あらっ？日本のかたでしたの？そうと分かっていたら慣れない下手­な英語でコメントせずに日本語でコメントすればよかった(笑）。

それはともかく、私は彼のプレイは大好きです。きらびやかで輪郭­がはっきりしているサウンドがたまらないです。

[60otaku3]

はい、生粋の日本人です（笑）

ホーズはバップピアノのスリルと楽しさを教えてくれたピアニスト­でしたね。

[cidedwards31a]

Hampton Hawes is my favorite jazz pianist of all times!

[MLinden22]

Is this on CD? I've never seen it.

Hamp is the man!!!

[60otaku3]

Yes, this song by Hampton Hawes Trio is recorded on a CD with some performances by the All-Stars.

Also the trio records the performance of "The Champ (Dizzy Gillespie)" too.

Hampton Hawes was the great pianist who gave for many Japanese jazz players very big influence.
