This trio album was released by American jazz pianist Hampton Hawes in 1955 and is one of the most famous West Coast jazz albums.
The album features standards and blues, with a pleasant sound of light swing and sophisticated ensemble, allowing you to fully experience the charm of modern jazz from the 1950s.
This album was recorded with a piano trio featuring Red Mitchell on bass and Chuck Thompson on drums, and delivers a swinging, dynamic performance. Hawes' piano playing combines a blues sensibility with the sharpness of bebop, powerfully driving the songs with its flowing phrasing and rich rhythmic sense.
