Hampton Hawes - The Green Leaves Of Summer mp3 download

...one of the greatest jazz piano tracks ever. Thanks for posting...

I learned of Mr Hawes through the book raise up off me. Had the book for years before the quarantine and now with time on my hands began to read it. Then I looked for his music blown away indeed.

Enjoyed this so much last summer! Why not to listen to Hampton again? :]

I cannot think of a better intro for a piece of music than this, very subtle and beautiful, and its transition halfway through it into a completely different piece, rhythmically speaking, is equally superb, and seamless. Discovering Hampton Hawes through a friend of mine two years ago made me think about the many jazz greats there must be out there with whom many of us Europeans are not familiar with, which in the case of Hampton Hawes is something that completely puzzles me. Hampton Hawes raw talent at the piano is second to none, and despite this, he is still relatively unknown to jazz lovers on this side of the pond, I believe.

Very nice UNBELIEVABL perfect

Listening to this makes me realise there was nothing marginal about jazz as an art form. It was just about the best thing the twentieth century had to offer posterity.
