Stereojack Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Is the Opera House recording worthwhile? I am thinking of picking up the Fresh Sounds reissue. This is one of my all time favorite live recordings. Hawk & Roy are in great form. The Verve CD which came out a few years ago contains both the mono and stereo versions, which are from different concerts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 There's a recording of Hawk with strings playing a lullaby (might be Brahms' Lullaby, not sure, but it's used to rock babies to sleep...you know how to hum it). Does anyone know which album this comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FpmtpLfSzg Do you mean Greensleeves ? No, it's with strings (ala Charlie Parker with Strings). Actually, I just found the performance on YouTube: http://youtu.be/AdvLh89I0YM I guess I now know the album it's from. Is this currently available?

medjuck Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Has anyone here (maybe everybody) heard the Uptown Hawkins cd from Jamestown in 1958? I came across it when looking for their new Prez cd. Should I add it to the shelf of Bean recordings I already own? I like his work from the early '60s. How does this compare?

Yes, I think you'll want it. It's very "casual", and you can hear Hawk talking during other people's playing, discussing driving routes and stuff like that. But he plays grandly when it's his time.

Swinging Swede Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Actually, I just found the performance on YouTube: http://youtu.be/AdvLh89I0YM I guess I now know the album it's from. Is this currently available?There have been two CD reissues under the title Hawk Talk. Both seem OOP now, but it should not be impossible to get for decent prices at Amazon Marketplace for example.The first CD reissue was on Fresh Sound (which is the one I have) and the second on a label called Tradition. According to the Amazon product description, the Tradition was remastered from the master tapes and according to a customer review "this CD has excellent audio quality throughout" (can't vouch for that, since I haven't heard it).

Peter Friedman Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Has anyone here (maybe everybody) heard the Uptown Hawkins cd from Jamestown in 1958? I came across it when looking for their new Prez cd. Should I add it to the shelf of Bean recordings I already own? I like his work from the early '60s. How does this compare? I found it disappointing. There are, in my opinion, numerous recordings by Bean I prefer. I disposed of my copy after hearing it a few times.

paul secor Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm with Peter. To me, it sounded like the musicians were phoning a lot of the music in. I traded my copy also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Interestingly, the extra track of Bean And The Boys is a different take than the one included in Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges! - Alive! At The Village Gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Speaking of Hawk, there was some talk recently on the board about a thorough online Coleman Hawkins discography. (I can't seem to find the thread now.) In any case, a few days ago I stumbled across the documents below, which outline all of Hawkins' solos on record -- everything he recorded, not just his works as a leader. The author also offers notes and comments on each session. 1922 - 1939 1939 - 1949 1950 - 1959 Very helpful info, I think, for anyone who's digging into Hawkins' work. Incidentally, these documents are part of http://www.jazzarcheology.com, an interesting site with many other discographies. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago I was looking for something like this and presume it was too daunting a task for anyone to have taken on. And I'm right that these are only the numbers on which he takes a solo?  Do you presume he's going to continue with the '60s? Edited December 22, 2018 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expressively not exhaustive discographies in the strict sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
