 It's classic alright!, 2009-09-21
Containing the complete studio sessions of Henry "Red" Allen and Coleman Hawkins from the 50s, this double CD is essential for classic jazz fans...
The first CD has the glorious "Ride Red Ride in Hi Fi" album sessions, with some of the FINEST jazz trumpet I've ever heard (yes, at his best, Allen is comparable to Satch, Dizzy, Miles or Brownie) and the rest of the band is also great: Hawkins probably has recordings of higher merit, but he is good to say the least,
with J.C.Higginbotham and other strong swingers....
The second CD is just a bit weaker; the two LPs (Warhorses/Dixieland jamfest, Sweet moods of jazz/High standards) are a tad over arranged, but the bands are also good and swinging, particularly the one with Earl Warren (mostly)on clarinet...
And, yes, the second CD has the recording studio versions of famous two performances for "Sound of jazz" telecast; with Pee Wee Russel, Rex Stewart...
ESSENTIAL jazz.

Some of the coolest sounds around, 2000-05-28
This is a wonderful album of jazz by one of the great tenor saxophonists, Coleman Hawkins. Every note is played with feeling, tenderness and great skill. There's not a weak track on this album; each one is a carefully crafted piece of musicianship. At full price this would be highly recommended - at bargain price it more or less becomes an automatic choice. Coleman Hawkins should definitely be better known, and this album is a marvellous place to become acquainted with him and his music.

The Hawk in great sound, 2008-12-06
Coleman Hawkins was a true giant of tenor sax, and this is a fantastic, straightahead set featuring his take on a handful of wonderful tunes which he caresses and sings as only he can. I feel listening to Hawkins that he must have been very aware of the lyrics to his songs, as his solos seem almost to interpret the song like a fine vocalist. Listen to "Poor Butterfly" and all will be clear.

Great band!, 2008-05-18
One of the best recordings of late Hawkins joining a band comprising of Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Ray Nance, Lawrence Brown, Aaron Bell and Sam Woodyard with the piano player in a swinging mood. Rarely heard tunes, or tunes written for the occasion, presents the small band in all it's glory - Hawk playing as if he always has been playing that kind of music, fx. a gorgeous rendition of Mood Indigo and the special Self portrait of the Bean.
I can not recommend it enough to all lovers of small band swing!!

Two real giants, 2008-06-01
Some might say (including historians, musical producers and liner notes writers) that Hawkins was much better than Webster, that only Young could equall his power with his unique approach. Even if this is true, the level at which Hawk and Webster play is so high that I see the meeting of two true giants.
Impecable rhythm section led by great Oscar Peterson always helps at these Verve style encounters and I feel that both tenor plays made the best of it.
Whether it is gentle ballads, blowing the blues or harmonizing in rhythm, this CD should satisfy not only swing and mainstream fans but also modern jazz fans: mainstream by definition leans somewhat towards modern jazz and Hawk and Peterson particularly well blend the best of both worlds (as they did throught their careers; Hawkins even before modern jazz was born).
A classic.

Brilliant, 2010-03-01
I am a massive fan of good old jazz, rather more so than more newer stuff. When I got this I was beaming all over. Hawkins, or more popularly known as Hawk is a legend, and although he could play more than one instrument it is the tenor saxophone that he is best known for. Arguably this was the man who brought the sax to the forefront of jazz. Indeed when you think of jazz the sax is the first thing that comes to mind.
In his lifetime he played with his own bands, as well as some of the really big names. He played New Orleans jazz along with other styles and as this album showcases, he was a consummate player. A big name in jazz and in the development of this music he is definitely someone that anyone in to jazz should listen to.
The recordings on this cd are taken from 1933-1949 and despite the age of these original recordings the sound transfer is fantastic. This is a must have album for your jazz collection.
