Hawkins’ collaborations with the great pianist Bud Powell are limited to the present 1960 Essen concert, first issued in Denmark as The Essen Jazz Festival All Stars (Debut Records DEB-131), on which they share four long tracks – with the rest being performed by Powell leading the rhythm section. The group is completed by the exceptional bassist Oscar Pettiford, who would suddenly die a few weeks later at the age of 37 on September 8, 1960, and drummer Kenny Clarke, one of the primary architects of bebop. Hawkins’ complete 1959 quartet set at Chicago’s Playboy Jazz Festival has been added as a bonus.
Recorded live at the Grugahalle, Essen, Germany, April 2, 1960.
