| | Coleman Hawkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In his later years, Hawkins began to drink heavily and stopped recording (his last recording was in late 1966). | | | When record collectors would play his early 1920s recordings during Hawkins's later years he would sometimes deny his presence on them, since the playing on the old records sounded so dated. | | | He then recorded a seminal jazz solo on the pop standard "Body and Soul", a landmark equivalent to Armstrong's "West End Blues". |

| | Coleman Hawkins - Jazz Saxophone Innovator - The Man |
| | Hawkins reflected by saying, "It's the first and only record I ever heard of that all the squares dig as well as the jazz people...I don't understand how and why."(2) Gioia considers this recording to be "undoubtedly the most celebrated saxophone solo in the history of jazz." | | | This activity motivated Hawkins to being a recording session for RCA in which he recorded "Body and Soul." The song became an astonishingly successful hit. | | | By the 1950's the sound that Hawkins had developed was beginning to sound outdated, especially when compared with the innovations being pioneered by Lester Young and Charlie Parker. |

| | Coleman Hawkins appeared in a wide variety of settings, from Red Allen's heated Dixieland band at the Metropole and leading a bop date featuring Idrees Sulieman and J.J. Johnson, to guest appearances on records that included Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, and (in the early '60s) Max Roach and Eric Dolphy. | | | During the first half of the 1960s, Coleman Hawkins had an opportunity to record with Duke Ellington, collaborated on one somewhat eccentric session with Sonny Rollins, and even did a bossa nova album. | | | However, there are dozens of superb Coleman Hawkins recordings currently available and, as Eddie Jefferson said in his vocalese version of "Body and Soul," "he was the king of the saxophone." ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |

| | Hawkins spent most of 1945 in California, performing and recording with a group that included the modernists Howard McGhee and Oscar Pettiford (this ensemble also appeared in the film The Crimson Canary). | | | At the end of a studio session a few days later, he improvised two choruses on Body and Soul, a recording that was a commercial and musical success, and which reestablished his importance to musicians while introducing him for the first time to an American mass audience. | | | Fletcher Henderson heard Hawkins with Sweatman and employed him to record with his band the following August. |

| | They were Coleman Hawkins, who reinvented the tenor as a jazz instrument; Buddy Tate, star of the Basie band and later his own Celebrity Club orchestra; and Arnett Cobb, the uninhibited "Wild Man of the Tenor Sax" who enlivened Lionel Hampton's band for five years. | | | Adding to the interest in the accompanying band that Hawkins personally selected is the presence of four musicians--Idrees Sulieman, J.J. Johnson, Hank Jones, and Oscar Pettiford--who had received some of their first important exposure on record with the saxophonist a decade earlier. | | | Kenny Burrell, who became something of a mainstay with Hawkins in the studios, is a significant voice on the present set of majestic ballads; and (as befits Hawkins the perennial talent scout) the quintet also includes two young men who would prove quite influential in the Sixties and beyond, Ron Carter and Andrew Cyrille. |

| | Coleman Hawkins released so much music over his lifetime in so many styles of jazz that this is a good sampler. | | | In the 1920s he was virtually the creator of jazz saxophone playing, freeing it from the mushy sound it had in dance bands. | | | But, all that aside, this is still a good collection to have, especially for someone unfamiliar with Hawkins, as it covers most of his career and different record labels. |

| | Hawkins had been playing and recording professionally for thirty years when most of these albums were made. | | | If you are not familiar with the music of Hawkins, a true giant of jazz, or if you own only one or two of his Prestige recordings from the late fifties/early sixties, then I highly recommend you purchase In A Mellow Tone. | | | He recorded for Prestige during the years 1958 to 1962, and Original Jazz Classics has chosen nine songs from eight of his albums. |

| | Coleman Hawkins - Verve Records |
| | Although his tenor saxophone style continued to evolve for about forty of those years, certain characteristics were constant: he always projected a big-toned and aggressive improvisational style grounded in a firm grasp of music theory and inspired by an appetite for fresh challenges. | | | Coleman Hawkins’s musical career lasted more than fifty years. | | | Despite Hawkins’s sympathy toward young, exploratory musicians, some of his most successful recordings of the 1960s were encounters with his Swing-Era peers, such as tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who had long emulated Hawkins’s big and breathy sound, alto saxophonist Benny Carter, and Duke Ellington. |

| | Within just three or so years he was traveling to nearby Kansas City and even to Chicago to listen to and learn from early saxophonists; among those whom impressed him were Happy Caldwell and Stump Evans as well as the blazingly fast Buster Bailey. | | | He worked, in as early as 1943, with Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Pettiford, and Max Roach; he then not only led the session that produced the first bop recordings but used Thelonious Monk in the same year for his first record date. | | | Henderson?s band boasted the most distinguished soloists?not just Hawkins but, by late 1924, Louis Armstrong and Bailey who, respectively, further emboldened Hawkins?s solo style and made him a more fluid player at fast tempos. |

| | And Coleman Hawkins is, simply, one of the most talented musicians of this century. | | | This album was one of RCA Victor's "New Orthophonic High Fidelity" albums, which means that it was recorded at Webster Hall in New York City with legend Jack Lewis producing and sainted Ray Hall as the engineer. | | | Byers was savvy enough to vary the sound on different songs, and his charts are never less than sympathetic and often nothing short of stunning. |

| | A Review of The Song of the Hawk: The Life & Recordings of Coleman Hawkins |
| | John Chilton's new critical biography, The Song of the Hawk: The Life & Recordings of Coleman Hawkins, is a thorough, knowledgeable, and worthy discussion of the Hawk's music. | | | A larger shortcoming in an otherwise excellent book is the lack of a discography, which can make it difficult for the interested reader / jazz fan to track down the recordings discussed. | | | Sax invented a strange hybrid between brass and reed instruments which became very popular in military bands, due to its sound and power. |

| | The creation of subsidiary labels during the time Coleman Hawkins recorded for Prestige allowed the saxophone patriarch to excel in a range of settings, from the mainstream blowing of Swingville sessions to several Moodsville albums featuring the virtuosic ballad readings that Hawkins first introduced to jazz. | | | The music contained herein speaks volumes in support of Michel's thesis, as the grand old man of the tenor (then in his late fifties) applies his muscular tone and arpeggio-dripping imagination to nine wailing examples of America's root song form. | | | Here, his sound is intact and he applies to a collection of great standards the harmonic ingenuity that showed the way to musicians around the world. |
