Hampton Hawes remains one of the great unsung jazz masters of the 1950s, often neglected partly through his often chaotic private life, affected so much by drugs. But some 50 years after their recording (and I have known them all that time) these trio tracks are a treasure trove of outstanding performances. Hawes is at his peak here both in terms in technique and in his approach to the material. There is surely no more explosive start to a piano record than "I Got Rhythm". Hawes attacks it like a sprinter hearing the starting gun. The intensity of his approach is mesmerising.
Interestingly though his approach to repertoire is different to many of the bop musicians around him. Rarely for him, a personal line over standard changes. This is clearly an arrangement of the tune "I Got Rhythm" not just an excuse to improvise on the I Got Rhythm changes. The bass and drums are fully integrated into the trio and the arrangement. Hawes also has a wonderful way with ballads. Apart from a few superfluous arpeggios his playing on these slower numbers is literally perfect, combining a love for the tunes with a wish to sharpen their intensity through personal exploration. Personally I think Chuck Thompson was the best drummer Hawes ever played with, and his work is consistently outstanding and inventive both with brushes and sticks. Red Mitchell is a superlative bassist inventive in his solos but always springy and uplifting in the rhythm section.
