Coleman Hawkin's great solo on "Body and Soul", deservedly a classic, is enshrined on records for repeating listening. But haven't you ever wondered how Hawk played the tune on other nights? Maybe, as good as that recorded solo was, just maybe on one inspired night, he surpassed even that effort. Here is a selection of Hawk's rare live performances dating from 1950 - 58 which contains some of his best known tunes: "Bean and the Boys", "Body and Souls", "The Man I Love", "Disorder at the Border" and others. They make for fascinating listening when compared to the commercial recordings and show that there is nothing quite like "live" jazz. Hawk's flock swoops in with the likes of Pee Wee Russell, Charlie Shavers, Johnny Acea, J.C. Higginbotham and others. This is rare, but well-done, Coleman Hawkins is an important addition to the discography.
Coleman Hawkins is featured with several different groups in this collection of broadcasts recorded between 1950 and 1958. Whether the setting is swing or bop, his majestic tone and inventive improvisations stand the test of time very well. Hawkins' "Rifftide" (based on the changes to "Oh Lady Be Good") is a solid performance that originates from the Apollo Theater with an unknown but very good rhythm section. Pianist Kenny Drew, trombonist Bennie Green, bassist Tommy Potter, and drummer Art Taylor back the tenor saxophonist on his up-tempo blues "Disorder at the Border" and a foot-tapping take of "The Man I Love," while Green sits out the inevitable request for "Body and Soul," heard in yet another rhapsodic interpretation. Johnny Acea, Al Lucas, and Osie Johnson provide the support for yet another swinging take of "Disorder at the Border" as well as a dramatic reading of "Yesterdays," while tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet trades solos with Hawkins on a whirlwind romp through the leader's "Bean and the Boys" (a reworking of "Lover, Come Back to Me"). Wrapping up the CD is a nonet performance of "Avalon," which includes Pee Wee Russell, Charlie Shavers, J. C. Higginbotham, and Willie "The Lion" Smith in a cooking dixieland setting. This reissue should be an essential acquisition for fans of Coleman Hawkins. ~ Ken Dryden, All Music Guide |
