Hampton Hawes - Four! With Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne & Red Mitchell - Contemporary LP

180-Gram Vinyl · All-Analog Bernie Grundman Mastering · Stoughton Tip-On Jacket

The 1958 release Four! teams the supremely soulful pianist Hampton Hawes with guitarist Barney Kessel, drummer Shelly Manne and bassist Red Mitchell. At heart a bebopper, Hawes is at a creative peak here on material like Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite," his own "Up Blues," and Mitchell's "Bow Jest" (featuring Mitchell's first recorded bowed solo). Issued as part of Craft Recordings' Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series.
