Playin' in the Yard is a live album by jazz keyboardist Hampton Hawes recorded at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival for the Prestige label.[1] Hampton's trio with Bob Cranshaw and Kenny Clarke also backed Dexter Gordon at the same concert, and the recordings with Gordon were released as Blues à la Suisse. Both recordings are noteworthy for Hampton's use of the electric piano for many of the performances.
