Erskine Hawkins (trumpet) Jimmy Mitchele (vocals, alto saxophone); Merle Turner, Ida James, Skeeter Best (vocals); William "Bill" Johnson (alto saxophone); Julian Dash (tenor saxophone); Heywood Henry (baritone saxophone, clarinet); Same Lowe, Wilbur Bascomb, Marcellus Green (trumpet); Edward Sims, Robert Range (trombone); Avery Parrish (piano); William McLemore (guitar); Leemie Stanfield (bass); James Morrison (drums)
Dubbed the "20th Century Gabriel," Erskine Hawkins was most famous for the self-penned hit, "Tuxedo Junction." This two compact disc set from the vaults of RCA/Bluebird captures Hawkins' work at the height of his career.
Don Waterhouse - Liner Notes
The Complete: 1938-1939 contains early big band sessions from trumpeter/bandleader Erskine Hawkins. Hawkins recorded excellent swing records for RCA into the '40s before later incorporating R&B as musical times changed, culminating with his classic "After Hours." The 34 tracks on this Collectables reissue include "King Porter Stomp," "Do You Wanna Jump Children?," "Satan Does the Rhumba," "Raid the Joint," and the original version of "Tuxedo Junction." Hawkins and company even manage to make two tracks from the Gilbert & Sullivan songbook swing. Highly recommended. ---Al Campbell, All Music Guide
Erskine Hawkins
Active Decades: '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s Born: Jul 26, 1914 in Birmingham, AL Died: Nov 11, 1993 in Willingboro, NJ Genre: Jazz Styles: Jump Blues, New York Blues, Swing
A talented high-note trumpeter and a popular bandleader, Erskine Hawkins was nicknamed "the 20th Century Gabriel." He learned drums and trombone before switching to trumpet when he was 13. While attending the Alabama State Teachers College, he became the leader of the college band, the 'Bama State Collegians. They went to New York in 1934, became the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra, started making records in 1936, and by 1938 were quite successful. With Hawkins and Dud Bascomb sharing the trumpet solos, Paul Bascomb or Julian Dash heard on tenors, Haywood Henry on baritone, and pianist Avery Parrish, this was a solidly swinging band that delighted dancers and jazz fans alike. Hawkins had three major hits ("Tuxedo Junction," "After Hours," and "Tippin' In") and was able to keep the big band together all the way until 1953; some of their later sessions were more R&B-oriented yet never without jazz interest. Hawkins led a smaller unit during his last few decades (the survivors of the big band had a recorded reunion in 1971) and the trumpeter kept on working into the 1980s. ---Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
