The link will be between your library and Amazon. Manchester University's online catalogue, failing to find a book, advised me to try Inter-Library Loans or Amazon. Starved of money by the government, universities have got to get their money from somewhere - just like our forum, I suppose.

As Coleman Hawkins' career lasted half a century - from before 1920 till the end of the sixties - it's not surprising that there were changes, though an identifiable stylistic core always remained. I remember that in the later part of his career people said that if you played his solos at 45 rpm, rather than at 33 as intended, he sounded like Bird (who wasn't born when Hawk's professional career began.)

My friend Danny Padmore is a London-based jazz bassist and writer. He played on this record date along with John Bunch and Jon Eardley: He also wrote the screenplay for this film based on his childhood: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0169257/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 http://film.britishcouncil.org/speak-like-a-child

That definitely looks like a 'real' painting there! You ask, "Could Rivers really play?" Well, try the YouTube clip I've posted in #3. If you can get past the ear-damaging singer (who seems more like a performance artist than a vocalist) you'll hear entirely competent, Ben Webster influenced tenor from Rivers. And he was educated at Juilliard.
