        A warning

        Hampton Hawes is as great as he ever became on this session. A warning, though, if you decide to download it from E-music: skip 'Go down Moses'as it is corrupt and breaks down after the first few bars.

        Some good music never goes out of style: Jazz fans everywhere revere the cooking hard bop of the 1950s. So why is the other big '50s trend, cool jazz, barely on modern radar?

        This set was pianist Hampton Hawes’ last before he started what would be five years in prison on drug charges. He had been arrested 11 days before and ironically chose to record a set of spirituals (plus a blues) as he awaited trial. Not released until 1987, the music (played with bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Stan Levey) is full of intense emotion, strong melodies and a little more variety than one might expect. Hawes’ treatments of such tunes as “Down By the Riverside,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder” and “Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho” are quite haunting. – Scott Yanow
