Hampton Hawes - Live At The Jazz Showcase In Chicago, Vol 2 Rec. Chicago, IL, June, 1973, Enja ENJ 6028-66 Year: 1973 Label: Enja Audio CD: September 15, 1998 Label: Enja Records Quality: mp3 320 kbps Hampton Hawes went through a period of inconsistency during the early '70s with his ill-advised addition of electric keyboards, but this is happily an all-acoustic live set from the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Joined by a formidable rhythm section consisting of bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Roy Haynes, Hawes launches this second volume with an extended medley of a driving hard bop rendition of Charlie Parker's blues "Bluebird" and his own "Blue Hamp," never running out of ideas even though this track is over 26 minutes long. His interpretation of "My Funny Valentine" is initially hesitant, but packs an emotional punch as it develops. It's a shame he didn't extend his rather abbreviated performance of the lively "Carson Blues," which was evidently intended as a set closer. The only misfire of the date is his "Walking Around the Town," an original featuring Hawes' rather awkward vocals. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide Personnel: Hampton Hawes (p) Cecil McBee (b) Roy Haynes (d): Live At The Jazz Showcase In Chicago Tracks: 01 MC By Joe Segal 02 Blue Bird / Blue Vamp 03 My Funny Valentine 04 MC By Hampton Hawes 05 Walking Around The Town 06 The Shadow Of Your Smile 07 Carson Blues 08 Spanish Mood
