Hampton Hawes • A Little Copenhagen Night Music

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Pianist Hampton Hawes (who is joined by bassist Henry Franklin and drummer Michael Carvin) plays a more boppish repertoire on this live set from Copenhagen's legendary Montmartre than he usually did during the era. Hawes swings his way through spirited versions of "Now's the Time," "'Round Midnight" and "Cheryl," performs his "Spanish Way," and welcomes tenor great Dexter Gordon to a rousing version of "Long Tall Dexter" (which is mistitled on the LP as "Dexter's Deck"). Hopefully, this date (along with Live at the Montmartre from the same night) will eventually be combined on a CD set.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
El pianista Hampton Hawes (al que acompañan el bajista Henry Franklin y el batería Michael Carvin) interpreta en este directo desde el legendario Montmartre de Copenhague un repertorio más "boppish" de lo que solía hacer en esa época. Hawes se abre paso a través de animadas versiones de "Now's the Time", "'Round Midnight" y "Cheryl", interpreta su "Spanish Way", y da la bienvenida al gran tenor Dexter Gordon en una entusiasta versión de "Long Tall Dexter" (que en el LP se titula erróneamente "Dexter's Deck"). Esperemos que esta fecha (junto con Live at the Montmartre de la misma noche) se reúnan en un CD.

Track B2 is mentioned as Long Tall Dexter on label and on Back Side of the sleeve. On the other hand the Back Side refers to Dexter Gordon playing on "Dexter's Deck" only. It is to be assumed that Long Tall Dexter is meant.
