The Hawk gets jaunty in Europe, 1960.
-
We Say...
This album lays down two European concerts from 1960 led by Coleman Hawkins, who, three decades earlier, pretty much made the tenor sax a commanding instrument of jazz, devised the fluent style of harmonic improvisation that anticipated bebop, and then emerged, in the '50s, as one of the few swing musicians who made the leap to modernism — and enthusiastically so. These are jaunty sessions, some joined by Roy Eldridge on trumpet and Benny Carter on alto. Nobody coasts for a second.

They Say...
In contrast to Hawkins's sometimes sleepy studio albums from this era, his live performances were generally quite exciting. This set features the great tenor at two European concerts in 1960, performing three fairly heated numbers with a four-piece rhythm section, matching wits with trumpeter Roy Eldridge on "Crazy Rhythm" and leading two all-star jams with Eldridge, fellow tenor Don Byas and altoist Benny Carter. Some of the music is quite fiery, making this a recommended disc.
