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

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".
