Here and Now is an album by American jazz pianist Hampton Hawes recorded in 1965 and released on the Contemporary label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow called the album "interesting but not essential" and stated "In general, the treatments are somewhat straight-ahead ("The Girl from Ipanema" is taken as swing rather than bossa nova), and Hawes' solos transform some of the tunes a bit".[2]
