Hampton Hawes: The Sermon by C. Michael Bailey, published on April 12, 2002. Hawes began his career backing Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray in the late 1940s. He served in the military in 1952-54, returned to LA and recorded regularly for Contemporary until a conviction on heroin possession sidelined him for five years. The Sermon was the last recording Hawes made before entering prison. He had been arrested 11 days before the session and while awaiting incarceration, decided to record a collection of spirituals.
