The record
A '73 date finding Hawes plugged into electric piano alongside Cranshaw's electric bass, with Clarke's brushwork keeping one foot in the bebop era he helped invent. Prestige catches the pianist mid-transition, easing his hard-bop touch into the decade's fusion currents without losing the blues underneath.
