Charlie Haden and Hampton Hawes - As Long As There's Music


This is another late Hampton Hawes duo recording. He recorded these duets with Charlie Haden not long before he passed. There is some very sensitive playing. I love the groovy-latin tinged funk on the opening song, "Irene." This really sounds like Keith Jarrett (I'm sure due largely to the presence of Haden).

The back of the liner notes says "8 Page Booklet Enclosed." Alas, the used vinyl that I purchased does not have such 8 page booklet. I would really like to explore Hampton Hawes recordings more in depth. Maybe in the future...
