About this playlist
Although the legacy of L.A. pianist Hampton Hawes crests upon his work from the second half of the ‘50s, there are always new facets of his art worth discovering. His simpatico support of tenor genius Sonny Rollins on “I've Told Ev'ry Little Star” reveals his masterful skills as sideman, while the percussive, hard-driving attack on “Dangerous” proves his touch remained electrifying through the late ‘60s.
