Hampton Hawes - Playin’ In The Yard
Recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival,
Casino De Montreux, Switzerland, July 7, 1973
2003 Fantasy cd reissue
Bitrate: 320 kbps

This live LP mostly features Hampton Hawes on electric piano, performing at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival in a trio with electric bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Kenny Clarke. Hawes interprets three of his originals, Sonny Rollins' catchy "Playin' In the Yard," and "Stella By Starlight." Although well-played, little memorable occurs, and Hawes never did sound as distinctive on keyboards as he did on acoustic piano. ~ Scott Yanow, AMG

I've just played this through and i love Hamp's electric style. Sure, his acoustic stuff is rich and even vunerable, but his electric sound is intelligently funky. For me its a different beast coming from a different direction and definitely achieving a different form of artistry. Surely, no less valid. I would rate his electric sound within the the top five Rhodes artists of the early seventies rubbing shoulders with Strazzeri, Cunimondo and others. Is it his best work? Maybe not, but i just love that sound and can't get enough of it, any electric Hampton is always a real treat and i thank you Bacoso for this one.
By the way Roy, I am not dissin' you, i would love more folk to express their opinions on posts, makes the whole experience even more interesing. ~ Absolute
