thejazzpoet: Saxophonist Coleman Hawkins and Holiday at a Columbia Records recording session in 1957.
delightfulee: Nothing wrong with being a little Fat, as long as it’s Navarro. Here’s to a bopping New Year in 2012.
delightfulee: Max Roach, We Insist! Freedom Now Suite (1960).
atane: Hawkins! Alive! At The Village Gate is a great live album by Coleman Hawkins. The Hawk is relaxed, and is plain having fun here. Hawkins was almost 58 when this album was recorded.
atane: Born on this day: Coleman Hawkins Photo by William Gottlieb (Source) - btw: That’s a very young Miles Davis behind Hawkins. He was around 21 at the time.
