Coleman Hawkins “The Hawk Flies High” Riverside/OJC cd

 

What's your opinion on the one-note solo?

[jazzbo]

I don't have one beyond "it's cool." And probably a display of proficiency as I don't imagine that was an easy beginning to a solo.

Then how do you relieve yourself?? 😮

Re-listened to “The Genius of Coleman Hawkins” because it was still in the transport and . . . well it’s a great album.

Now, enjoying the cool and quiet of this lovely morning, I’m on to “Stan Levey Quintet,” Mode/Muzak Japan lp facsimile cd. These Muzak remasterings sound wonderful! And this is a really nice date.

West Coast precision mechanics 👌👍 ....

Now onto a new arrival, the new remaster reissue of Sun Ra “Strange Strings” . . . a bizarre even by Ra standards recording. If it weren’t for the anchor of the amazing Ronnie Boykins bass playing . . . i probably would not listen to this. The original cd issue has been in deep storage a long time so I can’t do a comparison but the sound of this mastering is excellent.

Cosmic Myth Records cd
