It was recorded in 1968 by which time Hawes had modified his style considerably. For me the classics remain the three Contemporary 1955-56 albums: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album on Black Lion is a strong favorite, but I may slightly prefer this one on MPS/SABA. The 3 early albums on Contemporary are certainly very good, but I find he digs in a bit deeper on the Black Lion and MPS sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa, Strozier with a big band! Sign me up. Now playing: For Hawes-led sessions, I only have this, For Real! and a short session from a Savoy compilation. I need to pick up more because he was a brilliant pianist. Given my love for Roy Haynes and Cecil McBee, the Jazz Showcase album would be a logical choice.

The only downside is less than ideal audio fidelity. Edited November 26, 2020 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
