  • @ironman464800 -

    From a jazz point of view, that you "ironman464800" ought to know, which I sure hope you do, is that beeing here and all that, also means acknowledging the true foundation of reedjazz, which doesn't stem from Chris Potter, Bob Mintzer, nor from the late Bob Berg nor the late Mikael Brecker! It's from such men as Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young and Charlie Parker!

  • Pure genius. Love it.

  • awesome !

  • Has the feeling of a peg-leg pirate.

  • I hear you iroman. let them think what they want

  • I have this in my PC, but I still listen to it from here, cause i need to see his face.. in order not to forget how a giant looks like!!

  • Some of us have favorite periods in jazz where we like the style of music better than other periods. Coleman Hawkins gets credit for spanning two generations of jazz and changing with the times. For me jazz started in 1939 with Body and Soul and progressed with bebop and hard bop. Why Louis Armstrong couldn't embrace bebop and hard bop is something that never sits quiet right with me somehow.

  • for this to have made this end of night of mine happier, thanks jazz history

  • @colinwells4

    Its never a good idea...especially in the jazz history arena...to judge one era in jazz by the evolution of another. Bix was near the embryonic era of the music. By the time Mr. Hawkins came around, much had evolved. Much in regular history and music history had changed. So its not really fair to say, "he was better than Bix." You have to look at each artist according to the era in which they were coming up or coming to prominance.

  • This record changed the approach to the horn. Transcending all limitations created by man. A true ubiquitous state of singularity!!

  • yeah big hawky hugs
