Coleman Hawkins and His Confrères

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Assembling an elite cadre of fellow saxophone giants, including Ben Webster, the founding father of the tenor instrument leads a robust, beautifully relaxed blowing session. The contrasting tonal approaches of the horn players—from breathy lyricism to muscular swing—create a remarkably engaging, highly communicative atmosphere. It is a stunning, warm celebration of saxophone mastery across generations.
