Format:Audio CD
The clue is in the title. This is the Hawk in reflective almost dreamy mode, but still providing moments of intense feeling within the smooth arrangements. This CD is not so hot for those who like their Hawk in straight ahead jazz mode, and the presence of strings in some of the accompanying orchestrations jars a little. The most annoying thing about this compilation is that although you get your money's worth (20 tracks, 65 minutes playing time) nowhere is there any clue about when and where these tracks were recorded, except to say all are prior to 1972! I should hope so, as the Hawk died in 1969!

This is a wonderful album of jazz by one of the great tenor saxophonists, Coleman Hawkins. Every note is played with feeling, tenderness and great skill. There's not a weak track on this album; each one is a carefully crafted piece of musicianship. At full price this would be highly recommended - at bargain price it more or less becomes an automatic choice. Coleman Hawkins should definitely be better known, and this album is a marvellous place to become acquainted with him and his music.

A Dream Bird 13 Feb 2012
By Sentinel TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you enjoy soft, late-night jazz, this collection will fit. Obviously, the excitement of Hawkins at his best is absent, but it's a price worth paying for some dreamily restrained sax, sometimes in a band context, and sometimes with strings. There are some beautifully played classics here, of which 'Paper Moon' and 'Miss Jones' demonstrate the richly luscious melody lines Hawkins drapes across the dreamy rhythms.

Frustratingly, neither personnel nor track lengths or dates are given, although the running time is 66 minutes, and across 20 tracks. There is a brief biography on Hawkins, and the sound quality is decent. However, these aren't significant quibbles given the type of anthology, and its modest price.
