Hampton Hawes • The Green Leaves of Summer



Pianist Hampton Hawes' first recording after serving five years in prison finds Hawes evolving a bit from a Bud Powell-influenced bop pianist to one familiar with more modern trends in jazz. Reissued on CD, this trio date finds Hawes interacting closely with bassist Monk Montgomery and drummer Steve Ellington (making his recording debut). Hawes had lost nothing of his swinging style while in prison, as can be heard on such numbers as "Vierd Blues," "St. Thomas" and "Secret Love," and he was just starting to hint at moving beyond bop. Recommended.

La primera grabación del pianista Hampton Hawes, después de cumplir cinco años en prisión, muestra que Hawes evoluciona un poco desde un pianista de influencia de Bud Powell a uno familiarizado con las tendencias más modernas del jazz. Reeditado en CD, este trío cita a Hawes interactuando estrechamente con el bajista Monk Montgomery y el baterista Steve Ellington (haciendo su debut en la grabación). Hawes no había perdido nada de su estilo de swing mientras estaba en prisión, como se puede escuchar en números como "Vierd Blues", "St. Thomas" y "Secret Love", y estaba empezando a insinuar que se iba más allá del bop. Recomendado.
