Description
The pleasures of this album as toured by Colman Hawkins and his colleagues anre multiple and durable, and they focus again on the extraordinary reservoir of inventiveness which Hawkins as maintained throughout his long period of maturity. As Roy Eldridge says, “One night you’ll say he’s played his best, and the next night he’ll top that.”
The Hawk at his finest with features like “A Fellow Needs A Girl” and a version of “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.” Hawkins, of course, is on tenor sax. He’s joined by Tommy Flanagan on piano, Major Holly Jr. on bass, and Eddie Locke on drums.
