About this album
Focus is a strong late-career statement from hard bop trumpeter Bill Hardman, balancing blues-soaked attack with the leaner contours of contemporary jazz. Issued in 1984, the album finds Hardman in a fluent small-group setting where clipped, forceful horn lines sit comfortably alongside cooler modern harmonies. The title track and pieces such as “Avila & Tequila” and “Minority” show his gift for direct melody and muscular improvisation, while “My One And Only Love” brings a more lyrical side into view. It is a concise reminder of Hardman’s authority as a player whose sound stayed rooted in bop while remaining open to later jazz currents.
