5.0 out of 5 stars Bean at his finest, May 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Body & Soul (Audio CD)
These are clearly some of the very best recordings Hawkins made during his brilliant career. His 1939 recording of "Body and Soul" is breathtaking, although it's too bad the 78 rpm time constraints didn't allow him to stretch out the way you can feel that he wanted to during the choruses and solo. The rest of disc 1 is equally impressive. Disc 2 consists of the two LP's, "The Hawk in Hi-Fi" and "The Hawk in Paris". This 2 disc set also features such artists as Buck Clayton, Charlie Shavers, Max Roach, JJ Johnson, Shadow Wilson, Teddy Wilson and the great Fats Navarro. When asked what jazz was, Hawk replied "The rhythm-the feeling. It can be taught. Or at least its mechanical aspects can be. I think that out of so many of these thousands of musicians, plenty are mechanical, rather than real jazz musicians. But today the public doesn't know the difference. But it certainly used to." I think Bean hit the nail right on the head with that statement.
