It's hard not to love the rich, robust sax sound of Coleman Hawkins's tenor, and CONFESSIN': THE ASTOUNDING COLEMAN HAWKINS gives listeners plenty of that sound to love. This is a compilation album that brings together material from two separate studio dates (1954 and 1958), much of which was released on the LPs THE HAWK RETURNS ('54 sessions) and COLEMAN HAWKINS MEETS THE SAX SECTION ('58 sessions).
The former is a small combo session with the usual array of blues and standards, while the second emphasizes Hawkins's work with a horn section (and a fierce rhythm outfit that includes guitarist Freddie Green) on big-band style arrangements. Though the pairing may seem odd, there are lots of great performances, and no shortage of impressive solos by the Hawk.

Confessin' compiles two separate studio dates recorded on May 27, 1954, and April 24, 1958, under the leadership of legendary tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins. The Chicago 1954 session brings together an unknown combo consisting of organ, piano, guitar, and bass; the only surviving personal listing has Buddy Smith on drums. Originally released on the Savoy LP The Hawk Returns, the ten tracks pulled from that album emphasize slow blues, hard swinging, and a few standards, including "September Song" and "You Can't Take That Away from Me." The New Jersey date was recorded four years later at Van Gelder Studios and finds the Hawk teamed up with Count Basie's sax section and guitarist Freddie Green, with the rhythm section consisting of Nat Pierce on piano, Eddie Jones on bass, and Bobby Donaldson on drums. These three cuts were originally part of Savoy's Coleman Hawkins Meets the Sax Section, and include big-band versions of the Broadway themes "There Is Nothing Like a Dame" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," along with "Thanks for the Misery," written by the session's arranger/conductor, Billy VerPlanck.
