20CG - Erskine Hawkins billed as "The Twentieth Century Gabriel"
American trumpeter and big band legend Erskine Hawkins' virtuosity as a soloist earned him the sobriquet 'The Twentieth Century Gabriel', and during the swing era his band was one of the most popular and successful. With key sidemen such as instrumentalist-arrangers Avery Parrish and Sammy Lowe, tenor saxophonist Paul Bascomb and trombonists Bob Range and Wlibur Bascomb, the Erskine Hawkins Orchestra recorded big band classics such as Tippin' In, After Hours and Tuxedo Junction (the last of these was composed by Hawkins and became a jazz 'standard'). All are included on this release. Also featured are popular Erskine Hawkins Orchestra recordings including Someone's Rocking My Dream Boat, Holiday for Swing, Sweet Georgia Brown and Bicycle Bounce, among many others.

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.
