April 7 2003 Coleman Hawkins - At ease with CH (Moodsville, 1960) Coleman Hawkins All Stars (featuring Joe Thomas and Vic Dickenson) (Swingville, 1960) Lockjaw Davis (with Hawk, Arnette Cobb and Buddy Tate) (Prestige, 1959)

Great playing in those concerts! Town Hall is a great one! Another "curious" and IMO good CD is Carmen McRae´s "Carmen sings Monk" (Bluebird, 1988). Jordan playing both tenor and soprano. Also featured Charlie Rouse. Most of the lyrics added to Monk tunes were composed by Jon Hendricks

I enjoyed his playing in some Chet Baker sides! And the Bobby Jaspar JIP I have (Modern Jazz au Club St Germain) sounds great, too.

Another name for you....if you are open-minded: Chano Domínguez Monkish spanish flamenco-jazz and more Believe me: great stuff!!

It´s not a battle of tenor saxes, but well, it´s HAWK and Lockjaw Davis together: Nighthawk (Prestige, 1960)

Brownian Motion: You can find "Accent on tenor sax" at planetmusic.es with a very good price (9€) Well, sometimes they don´t update their catalogue on-line. You order, say, 15 items, and you receive 5, without any explanation by e-mail!!!
