Hampton Hawes Trio Hampton Hawes/France 1971

This is a superb stereo soundboard recording of a live performance by pianist Hampton Hawes, a representative pianist of the West Coast jazz scene, at Studio 104 in Paris, France on June 25, 1971. It includes four songs in total, including the classic “This Guy’s In Love With You” composed by Burt Bacharach, and his own compositions “High In The Sky” and “Carmel.” With his characteristic crisp touch and singing-filled performance, you can enjoy the superb sound of this wonderful live performance with the spirited drummer Michael Carvin, who was active as the drummer for Los Angeles bass giants Henry Franklin and Freddie Hubbard.
