Coleman Hawkins
Comment:
Like any true jazz great, Coleman Hawkins played well with others — sometimes to historical proportions, like the 1944 session with Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, and others that produced not only a swingin' "Woody 'n You," but also the first official bebop recording. Which means he had no problem fitting right in behind passionate jazz chanteuse Abbey Lincoln on "Blue Monk," or getting his sturdy tenor swing to stand out [i]and[/i] blend in with the Oscar Peterson trio on "I'll Never Be the Same." And in "Time On My Hands" (recorded live in Chicago, 1957), Hawk hooks up with one of his finest collaborators, fiery trumpeter Roy Eldridge.
