Love Hampton but somehow missed this one so I added from You Tube to stream. ‘For Real’ and ‘Four’ and the ‘All Night Long’ volumes are longtime favorites. I just noticed’Mingus 3’ another one I don’t have so have added it also…..

He was something special. I first learned about him from the manager of a record store I worked at in 1996. His work with Mingus was superb, too. Thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it!

This encapsulates what’s so great about Substack to me. Nowhere else am I as likely to find a deep dive into an underrated jazz pianist like Hampton Hawes.

I truly appreciate the comment and feel the same way about SubStack. I found Jazz and Coffee here, and it’s led me to some great jazz releases. Thank you for reading. 🙏
