Bird Song is an album by American jazz pianist Hampton Hawes recorded at sessions in 1956 and 1958 but not released on the Contemporary label until 1999.

They come from a key creative period in Hawes' career when he was enjoying new levels of commercial and critical acclaim.

[2] On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor observed "Hawes’ trio recordings of the 50s are among the finest examples of small ensemble hard bop created on California shores.

This disc is valuable document and should be consulted by anyone who appreciates resourceful and resonant piano trio jazz".

[4] Doug Ramsey wrote, "These trios may not have quite the magnetic cogency of Hawes' working group with Red Mitchell and Chuck Thompson, but there is more than enough brilliance here to satisfy listeners who recognize Hawes as one of the finest of the pianists who grew out of Bud Powell".
