One of the rarer Coleman Hawkins sessions has been reissued on this Drive
Archive CD. The veteran tenor was somewhat overlooked during the era (prior to a
major comeback in 1957) but he always played at a consistently high level. On
four of the eight selections, Hawk is showcased in a quintet with Joe Earl
Knight (mostly on piano but also playing some early organ), rhythm guitarist
Sidney Gross, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Osie Johnson. The remaining
four numbers add trumpeter Ernie Royal and trombonist Eddie Bert. Hawkins is in
prime form, particularly on Blue Room, Running Wild, The Breeze and I and My Own
Blues. Although the songs are actually programmed in a slightly different order
than is listed, this reissue is worth picking up. ~ Scott Yanow
