Bass – Red Mitchell; Drums – Shelly Manne; Guitar – Barney Kessel; Piano – Hampton Hawes. Recorded January 27, 1958 at Contemporary's studio in Los Angeles.
Pianist Hampton Hawes' 1950s recordings for the Contemporary label are at such a high level that they could all be given five stars. This outing with bassist Red Mitchell, drummer Shelly Manne, and guitarist Barney Kessel (who is a slight wild card) is also quite successful. Two previously unreleased numbers ("Thou Swell" and "The Awful Truth") have been added to the CD reissue. Highlights of the exciting bop date include "Yardbird Suite," "There Will Never Be Another You," and "Love Is Just Around the Corner." ~Scott Yanow
