Tenor great Coleman Hawkins was usually bored with the blues, at least until the
period covered by this CD sampler. A master at deciphering complex chord
changes, Hawkins found the blues to be overly simple but around 1957 (after 35
years of major league activity) he began to explore the blues more seriously, at
least on an occasional basis. This CD has nine performances from as many
sessions. The music is consistently excellent (particularly Juicy Fruit, the
lengthy Blues For Tomorrow which also features John Coltrane, Stealin The Bean
with trumpeter Charlie Shavers and a pair of collaborations with fellow tenor
Eddie Lockjaw Davis), but it is recommended that listeners (beginners and
experts alike) instead acquire the complete sessions, since the blues were only
a small aspect of the Coleman Hawkins story.
