Milt Jackson & Coleman Hawkins • Bean Bags

Review by Scott Yanow

Many of vibraphonist Milt Jackson's Atlantic recordings are long overdue to appear on CD, and that certainly includes Bean Bags, which features a meeting with the great tenor Coleman Hawkins. Assisted by a top-notch quartet (pianist Tommy Flanagan, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist Eddie Jones, and drummer Connie Kay), Bean Bags romps through "Stuffy," "Get Happy," a pair of Jackson originals, and two fine ballads, with "Don't Take Your Love From Me" being particularly memorable.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Muchas de las grabaciones atlánticas del vibrafonista Milt Jackson deberían haber aparecido en CD hace mucho tiempo, y eso ciertamente incluye Bean Bags, que incluye una reunión con el gran tenor Coleman Hawkins. Asistido por un cuarteto de primera (el pianista Tommy Flanagan, el guitarrista Kenny Burrell, el bajista Eddie Jones y la baterista Connie Kay), Bean Bags juega a través de "Stuffy", "Get Happy", un par de originales de Jackson, y dos hermosas baladas, siendo "Don't Take Your Love From Me" particularmente memorable.
