Father of Jazz Sax Schools Us (Dec 18, 2009)
Reviewer:

The father of Jazz saxophone, COLEMAN HAWKINS, gets deluxe due with a whopping 2 hours 20 minutes of bop chops.
This disc unleashes two great shows with different bands from tours of Europe. His drummer on the first concert, Kansas Fields, puts sway into martial precision while Coleman puts the mellow in melodic. Hawkins is in fine form here, showing us why he earned his crown...
The father of Jazz saxophone, COLEMAN HAWKINS, gets deluxe due with a whopping 2 hours 20 minutes of bop chops.
This disc unleashes two great shows with different bands from tours of Europe. His drummer on the first concert, Kansas Fields, puts sway into martial precision while Coleman puts the mellow in melodic. Hawkins is in fine form here, showing us why he earned his crown as the master of jazz improvisation. Parisian pianist Georges Arvanitas is an excellent foil with his modern and sometimes risky chordings thrown off with easy aplomb.
The second show with a new line-up finds Hawkins pacing himself in a slow burn. With his almost sad dignity trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison nearly steals the show from his friend; he especially stands out on his unexpected ballad choice, "The Girl From Ipanema". Hawkins is back in the groove before long and abbetted greatly by bassist Jimmy Woode and the great drummer "Papa" Jo Jones. This man put saxophone on the map and on this great collection he shows us how.
