	Hampton Hawes: Northern Windows Plus
		The second, Northern Windows, is a large group date with three saxes, two trumpets, a trombone, and drummer Spider Webb and bassist Carol Kaye, all arranged and produced by David Axelrod.
		It’s amazing to hear Hawes playing what sounds like a textbook definition of the hard bop/soul jazz style, and many players who were assumed to take Horace Silver as their main influence were probably equally influenced by Hawes.
		Hearing this date there’s no question that Hawes would have become a popular crossover artist and perhaps found a way to incorporate funk and rock elements into jazz without sacrificing the jazz side of the equation if he had lived.

	Hampton Hawes \| The Sermon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hawes recorded The Sermon a few days before he was sent to prison for five years on drug charges.
		Hawes wisely focuses on improvisation and swing, fashioning versions of these well-known songs that are more likely to make you snap your fingers than put you in a state of grace.
		Hawes varies the tempo and presentation of each song to sustain interest and both Vinnegar and Levey seem content to provide understated support.

	Arthur Shuey Reviews 4
		A highly influential bebop jazz pianist prior to drug-related jail time coinciding with the strongest period of his genre, the unlucky Hampton Hawes converted several gospel and spiritual numbers to swing/bop on this new reissue of one of his most obscure recordings.
		Recorded just a few days before his sentencing, the record as reissued today is at the same time a jazz trio time capsule, preserving the general ambience of that bandstand line-up at its best circa 1958 and a convincing essay on the common roots of sacred and secular music within African-American culture.
		To these people, I suggest an honest attempt to listen to the record in context, to admire Hawes as the pioneer who came up with an approach to jazz keyboard expression that's been copied extensively over the years.

		Piano: East/West includes a December 1952 session recorded in Hollywood by the Hampton Hawes Quartet (Hawes on piano, vibraphonist Larry Bunker, bassist Clarence Jones, and drummer Larance Marable) and a shorter February 1955 session recorded in Hackensack, NJ, by the Freddie Redd Trio (pianist Redd, bassist John Ore, and drummer Ron Jefferson).
		The sessions really have little to do with regional variations, as Hawes and Redd are both straight-ahead bop pianists in the Bud Powell tradition, but if this were a contest, Freddie Redd would be the victor.

	The Doo-Wop Society of Southern California: Big Jay McNeely
		Tenor saxophonist Cecil "Big Jay" McNeely has been "the king of the honkers" for over 50 years, and he's still going strong.
		Born in Watts, California, on April 29, 1927, he formed his own band with jazz legends Sonny Criss (alto sax) and Hampton Hawes (piano) while still in high school.
		But in late 1948, when he was asked to record for Savoy Records, he abandoned jazz for something more raucous and struck paydirt when his second release, a honked-up instrumental called "Deacon's Hop," went to #1 on the national R&B charts in February 1949.
