This live LP (which has not yet been reissued on CD) mostly features
Hampton Hawes on electric piano, performing at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival in a trio with electric bassist
Bob Cranshaw and drummer
Kenny Clarke.
Hawes interprets three of his originals,
Sonny Rollins' catchy "Playin' in the Yard," and "Stella by Starlight." Although well-played, little memorable occurs, and
Hawes never did sound as distinctive on keyboards as he did on acoustic piano.
