Arguably the first man to introduce the tenor saxophone to the jazz world, Coleman Hawkins, at the venerable age of 51, proved he could still hang with the young mavericks of the burgeoning bebop scene. This session put the Hawk back on the map and solidified his status among the greatest tenor players of all time. This date features Hawkins leading a small ensemble of extremely talented musicians, including trombonist J.J. Johnson, trumpeter Idrees Sulieman, pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Barry Galbraith, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Jo Jones.
Hawkins literally invented jazz saxophone, starred in the first jazz big band, and played with unfailing strength and invention into the Sixties. When Riverside invited him to assemble his choice of an ideal small group, the Hawk picked an impressive cast that ran the gamut from modern (J.J. Johnson) through mainstream (Hank Jones) and on back to Swing (ex-Basie drummer Jo Jones) and created a powerful album that stands as a lasting part of his legacy.
Amazing. Thirty years after the venerable tenor saxophonist rose to stardom in Fletcher Henderson's big band, Coleman Hawkins revitalized his career with The Hawk Flies High. This Riverside date from March 1957 reasserted Hawkins' stature as a true and enduring jazz icon. Personally selecting his own ensemble, including trombonist J.J. Johnson, trumpeter Idrees Sulieman, pianist Hank Jones, guitarist Barry Galbraith, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Jo Jones. The group swings and bops their way through six great tunes, including the lengthy "Juicy Fruit," Gigi Gryce's "Blue Lights" and Hawkins' own soul-stirring original entitled "Sancticity."
