5.0 out of 5 stars The impossible happens!, May 23, 2001
By 
E. Hawkins (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Simply Jazz: Smooth Jazz (Audio CD)
Fans of Ben Webster, please note: for perhaps the only time in his brilliant career, Ben finds himself out-balladed. Coleman Hawkins, the father of the tenor, steps up to the mike on 'It Never Entered my Mind' and outplays the greatest balladeer in jazz history. It's a thrilling solo. Ben is, of course, glorious, the rhythm section is blue-chip (the Peterson trio plus drums), and the interplay between the two horns (especially the gorgeous unison melody playing on 'La Rosita') is breathtaking. Mainstream jazz at its finest, and an essential purchase for any jazz -- any music -- lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of jazz's rare moments, September 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Simply Jazz: Smooth Jazz (Audio CD)
This record is magnificent, it has something which most contemporary jazz lacks heavily - an atmosphere. It captures the distinction between possesing a virtuous technique(which several master) and possessing a virtuous ability to play an instrument in an intimate way(which is for the few). Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins had that gift, they felt the joy, the endearment, the pain and the wonder of life, and they let it out through their music. This was the first Jazz record I simply had to get. I have had many beautiful moments in company with it since, and many more sure is to come.
