This live LP (which has not yet been reissued on CD) mostly features Hampton Hawes on electric piano, performing at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival in a trio with electric bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Kenny Clarke. Hawes interprets three of his originals, Sonny Rollins' catchy "Playin' in the Yard," and "Stella by Starlight." 

Although well-played, little memorable occurs, and Hawes never did sound as distinctive on keyboards as he did on acoustic piano. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/playin-in-the-yard-mw0001882935
