Alexander Hawkins Posted April 18, 2008 Report Posted April 18, 2008 Some wonderful Hampton Hawes here - with Bob Cooper, Shelly Manne, and Ray Brown. Really interesting playing from Hawes...rhythmically he's awesome here! Shelly Manne plays some fun stuff too (e.g. coming up to 7'00")! Quote
JSngry Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Wow...if you went back 20 years, to 1950, and where all these guys were then, and think about all the very different things that happened to each them in the interim, this clip becomes more than a little surrealistic... Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 What's the Cooper 50-70 story??? Afraid I know next to nothing about him! Quote
JSngry Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Kenton, studio work, marriage to June Christy, just a "nice life" in general, or so it seems. Definitely a financially & career stable one. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Posted April 19, 2008 Ah! Had no idea about June Christy..! Quote
