Hampton Hawes - The Challenge (1968)
Vinyl rip in 24bit-96kHz | FLAC (tracks) ~794 MB | CUE, m3u, m3u8 no log (vinyl) | Full LP Artwork
Classic Jazz | RCA JPL-1-1508 1976 ~ Very rare US pressing , never on CD

“Hampton Hawes' super rare solo 1968 classic long out-of-print LP that inexplicably never made it to CD. Although it does not say it anywhere on this LP (originally recorded in Japan for RCA), the "challenge" was that this was Hampton Hawes' first set of unaccompanied piano solos. Although based in bop, Hawes was always much more than a one-handed pianist, and he proves up to the challenge. The repertoire includes jazz standards, three originals, and the current pop tune "Who Can I Turn To." Throughout the date, the pianist shows that he could create stirring music without the assistance of a rhythm section. Unfortunately, this music (last put out on a Storyville LP) has yet to be reissued on CD.

No DeNoise or Declick was used on this rip, and no intra track silence removed. I didn't want the music compromised in any way by trying to remove the few and far between audible clicks after cleaning with the Moth (besides I'm lazy, lol). Feel free to experiment with the software of your choice, files are essentially raw.
