Hampton Hawes – Northern Windows

Hawes in der Mitte des Ehepaars, das auf dem Album Bass und Drums bedient, Carol Kaye und Spider Webb… kein Bebop Album

Carol Kaye
In 1974 I had to find out if I was as great a bass player as they said I was in the studios. They would flatter me all the time, and there I’d be sitting there playing dumb music, and I was wondering if I was good or not. So I had to step out and find out if I could play. And the only way to do that is to get out on the stage, so I went to play with Hampton Hawes, and I cut an album with him. I was starting to get back to jazz, getting back into the jazz grooves, and that’s where I met Spider and we started to play together on the disco record and that kind of thing. But it was fun to play some jazz there for a minute to find out if I can really play.
