The essence of this set is Charlie Parker's numerous variations on "I
Got Rhythm" and Parker's key blues-based tunes, such as "Confirmation."
The result is a spirited, highly communicative session, where pianist
Hampton Hawes gets to the core of the bop idiom. It's a mystery why
these tracks from 1956 and 1958 went unreleased until 1999. They come
from a key creative period in Hawes' career when he was enjoying new
levels of commercial and critical acclaim. Regardless, the music has now
been done justice in a well-mastered release that will please fans of
Hawes and of bop piano in general. From a lesser artist, the dry,
unadorned, direct style at the center of Hawes' playing could expose
technical vulnerabilities. In Hawes' case, it exposes a natural, fluent
grace of phrasing and rhythm. Each track is a freshly interpreted joy
ride across familiar chord changes. Bassist Paul Chambers and drummer
Larance Marable, not Hawes' regular partners from this period, are
prominent, supportive parts of the pianist's heartbeat. Besides the
Parker originals and Parker-derived themes, there are fine versions of
several standards, "Yesterdays" and "Stella by Starlight" being just two
deliriously swinging highlights. The three tracks from a 1958 date,
with Scott LaFaro on bass and Frank Butler on drums, maintain the same
joyous pulse of the earlier tracks. Jim Todd
