Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I was in a store the other day and found this really old CD on the Jass label that I'd never heard of: Coleman Hawkins with Henry Allen, "Standards and Warhorses". Not a very appealing title. It looks like "Coleman Does Dixieland" but I wasn't able to play it. Any opinions? Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Not as memorable a date as it should have been given the chemistry of Hawk and Red. But the CD is long OOP and not likely to resurface. A collector's item. Musically, it's overshadowed by Red Allen's date with Hawk on RCA from about the same time. Can't remember the LP title, but it was reissued on CD as "World on a String." That's the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me correctly, this session is definitely not the highlight of Hawk's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonguthartz Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 (edited) I agree -- not essential Hawk, not on the level of "World on a String." That "Standard & Warhorses" record was reissued as one disc of a 2-CD set on the Jazz Classics label called The Tenor For All Seasons; the other disc has the live 1959 concert with Roy Eldridge that was originally released on Just You, Just Me (Stash). -Jason Edited March 25, 2005 by jasonguthartz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Stash booted this from 2 different Soundcraft sessions. Soundcraft was a tape manufacturer purchase by Columbia around 1970. They made at least 4 (that's what I have) tapes to give away with their blank tape reels. One of the Allen/Hawk sessions is more "dixie" than the other, but I can't remember which. Probably the one with Earl Warren instead of Sol Yaged. The other 2 Soundcraft sessions were led by Larry Clinton (with Charlie Shavers, Sam Taylor, Sol Yaged, Urbie Green, Buddy Weed, Barry Galbraith, Bob Haggart and Cozy Cole) and a very nice Elliot Lawrence date with Hal McKusick among the usual suspects.
