Hampton Hawes, ALL NIGHT SESSION(1956)Jim Hall 3CD torrent

AS A GROUP, THE THREE ALBUMS and sixteen selections comprising ALL NIGHT SESSION

represent a most unusual achievement in the annals of jazz recording. The almost

two hours of music were recorded at a single continuous session, in the order

in which you hear the numbers, and without editing of any kind. This seems like

an impossible feat. Playing steadily for several hours is a taxing physical

experience at best, but improvising continually for that length of time is an

exhausting one, mentally and emotionally. Yet the later selections in ALL NIGHT

SESSION reveal no flagging of vitality, spontaneity, or inventiveness......
