Comment:

It was the 1920s, and the tenor sax was still a Vaudeville oddity when young prodigy Coleman Hawkins decided he could do wild and wondrous things with the horn's undiscovered potential. With a tone that was strong yet supple, and an almost limitless talent for diving into any chord or key, Hawkins was a professional musician before the age of 13, soon backing early jazz greats like Mamie Smith ("I'm Gonna Get You") and wailing his way through a groundbreaking ten-year tenure with bandleader Fletcher Henderson ("King Porter Stomp"). By the time he became a free agent in the '30s, he was already a monumental figure, and the decades to come only cemented his legend. Our [i]Coleman Hawkins[/i] Essentials brings you just that, from signature cuts like "The Man I Love" to way-out one-offs ("Me and Some Drums," with Hawk on the piano) to latter-day triumphs like "Summertime," featuring the tenor great Hawkins helped shape, Sonny Rollins.
