Does anyone have any personnel or recording date info on this album? I got it under the title "Hawk Eyes" on the Hip label. allmusic.com is no help except to say it's late-period Hawk in stereo with a trio. That much I can tell by listening to it. Lord doesn't list it at all, so, no help there. Any info??

Provided we are talking about the same album: Listening to the samples on Amazon it seems to me an compilation album. "The midnight sun will never set" is from the Impulse Benny Carter album Further definitions. "I only have eyes for you" is the Keynote recording. "Hawk eyes" is from the Prestige album Hawk Eyes. I didn't go further checking.

I'm not sure about The Man I Love and Don't blame me. But I think Sirius (1966). Wich I don't have.

Wrap your troubles in dreams (Capitol 2-3-45), Until the real thing comes along(Soul 7-11-58), Red beans (Coleman Hawkins With The Red Garland Trio 12-8-59), Trough for the night and Hawk eyes (Hawk Eyes 3-4-1959), I only have eyes for you (Keynote 31-1-44), It's the talk of the town (Capitol 9-3-45).

Hope this helps you.

That helps quite a bit! Thanks for figuring that out for me--what a mishmash this record is! I sort of enjoy it anyway, so I think I'll hang on to it, but what a mess! Thanks again!

Right now I don´t remember the title of the album, but it´s a live recording from about 1962 or later, with Tommy Flanagan, Major Holley and ......don´t remember the drummer, and they do a very good version of "Talk of the Town", I remember Hawk announced the tune as a pretty old ballad that you don´t hear much anymore......

I think the record was made at the Village Vanguard.....
