Things begin with ten mostly hard bop swingers from a trio date in 1953. Prominently featured is Hope's Powell like, single line attack. Solos stay brisk and straightforward on uptempo numbers.

Tonight his trio focuses on his personal passion for the writings and stylings of the lesser known piano genius Elmo Hope. Overshadowed throughout his life by his friends Budd Powell and Thelonius Monk, Hope was a talented pianist and composer whose life was cut short by drugs. He recorded in New York as a leader (starting in 1953) and with Sonny Rollins, Lou Donaldson, Clifford Brown, and Jackie McClean but the loss of his cabaret card (due to his drug use) made it very difficult for him to make a living in New York. After touring with Chet Baker in 1957, Hope relocated to Los Angeles
