All Night Session! Vol. 2 is the second album by pianist Hampton Hawes from a session recorded the night of November 12th and morning of November 13th, 1956 at Contemporary's Studios in Los Angeles and released on the Contemporary label.[1]

The Allmusic review states "In 1958 Hawes was quoted as saying "It's hard to put into words how good it feels to play jazz when it's really swinging...I've reached a point where the music fills you up so much emotionally that you feel like shouting hallelujah -- like people do in church when they're converted to God. That's the way I was feeling the night we recorded All Night Session!" ".[2]
