Notes

Notes by J. R. Taylor
One man was quite literally the originator of saxophone in jazz. That same man's creative life spanned the vast distance from Fletcher Henderson's 1920s orchestra to the modern-jazz world of such younger tenor sax giants as Coltrane and Rollins. Coieman Hawkins was at all times a master of both lush ballads and swinging jazz - as amply demonstrated in these selections from a late (but still wonderfully talentloaded) period in his nearly half-century-long career.
