Hampton Hawes Quartet: Hampton Hawes (piano); Larry Bunker, Larry Marable, Clarence Jones. Freddie Redd Trio: Freddie Redd (piano); John Ore, Ron Jefferson. Originally released on Prestige (7067). This special collector's edition is digitally remastered from original analog master tapes. Personnel: Freddie Redd (piano); Hampton Hawes (piano, keyboards); Larry Bunker (vibraphone); Larance Marable, Ron Jefferson (drums). Liner Note Author: Ira Gitler. Recording information: Hackensack, NJ (12/??/1952-02/28/1955); Los Angeles, CA (12/??/1952-02/28/1955). This CD reissue has two unrelated early sessions from pianists Hampton Hawes and Freddie Redd. Hawes, heard in a quartet with vibraphonist Larry Bunker, bassist Clarence Jones and drummer Larence Marable, already ranked as one of the top bop-based pianists in 1952. He performs eight straight-ahead numbers (five bop standards and three originals like "Hamp's Paws"), including a two-minute version of "Move" that lives up to its name. Redd, who recorded much less during his longer career, stretches out a bit more on four numbers (including three originals) in a trio with bassist John Ore and drummer Ron Jefferson. Excellent music, easily recommended to bop collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
