About this product

The father of the jazz tenor saxophone, Coleman Hawkins influenced a whole generation of young sax giants and his influence is still strong today, some forty years after his passing. The rare sessions presented here were recorded in late 1953 for Chicago's Parrot tag, and although the information on these sessions are sketchy, it is believed that Hawk was accompanied by Leo Blevins on guitar and Les Strand on organ, with an unknown vocal group on a few of the selections. The drummer is thought to be Buddy Smith. These 12 sides for Parrot are one of his biggest bodies of work from this period, as it was a time of lowered exposure for Hawkins. Regardless of who accompanied Hawk on these recordings, his playing proves that he was in fine form. All selections newly remastered. Album Tracks 1. Goin' Down Home 2. I'll Follow My Secret Heart 3. On My Way 4. I'll Tell You Later 5. What a Difference a Day Makes 6. Last Stop 7. Should I 8. Flight Eleven 9. Modern Fantasy 10. Confessin' 11. September Song 12. They Can't Take That Away from Me
