4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid collection from Hawk's late period.,
By "jazzfanmn" (St Cloud, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In a Mellow Tone (Audio CD)
This cd pulls material together from sessions dating between 1958 and 1962. After fourty years of legend status Hawkins was still inspiring, and being inspired by, younger musicians. Among those supporting the venerable icon are Red Garland, Tommy Flanagan, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Ron Carter, and Kenny Burrell. The generally laid back material ranges from standards, tender blues, a couple up-tempo blowing numbers, and an enjoyable nonet piece on "Jammin'in Swingville". While the take on "Greensleeves" seems a bit sappy, this is an entertaining, if unspectacular set of music from Coleman Hawkins. Longtime fans of Bean will be pleased with this cd, and while it is not the best introduction to one of the giants of jazz, it is enjoyable enough to recommend to new listeners because Hawkins' faculties are in check, and he still possesed one of the best sounds of all time.

Coleman Hawkins is one of the great masters of the sax,this is some of his greatest work all rolled into one album. I will never get tired of it. I'm lucky to own it.
