Coleman Hawkins: Coleman Hawkins and confrères (180 g) (LP)

Coleman Hawkins was not only the first great tenor saxophonist to make a name for himself as an improviser in the swing era, but later also played his part in the development of bebop. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Hawkins did not stand still in time, but constantly developed further. The album "Coleman Hawkins and Confrères", released in 1958, shows him in a lively, swinging exchange with prominent fellow musicians.
