Pianist Elmo Hope's centenary was on June 27. To celebrate the bebop pianist and composer, here are five hours of Hope's trio recordings between 1953 and 1966.
Before I serve up the music, here are the tracks and trios and their respective times on the Backgrounder:
New Faces—-New Sounds (1953), with Elmo Hope (p), Percy Heath (b) and Philly Joe Jones (d).
