Coleman Hawkins • Verve Jazz Masters 34

 



The music on JAZZ MASTERS 34 covers the years 1944 to 1962 (Coleman Hawkins' mid- to late- period). He's accompanied by many jazz legends in their own right, the various recording dates boasting a long list of who's who in jazz. But this storied personnel list is just the beginning.

It's hard to beat Oscar Peterson's delicate piano work on "Cocktails for Two" recorded from a session that Peterson maintains was the highlight of his life. Sid Catlett's fine brushwork on "Just One of Those Things" is another treat. Hawkins' smoky sound comfortably floats over the lush changes to "Body and Soul" (his trademark tune) and an unaccompanied version of his own composition, "Picasso" rounds out this release with great variety. Perhaps the most exciting song on this disc, however, is Hawkins' composition, "Bean and the Boys" which features wonderful bop soloing from pianist Tommy Flanagan and the Bean (Hawkins) himself.

La música de JAZZ MASTERS 34 cubre los años 1944 a 1962 (período de Coleman Hawkins de mediados a finales). Está acompañado por muchas leyendas del jazz por derecho propio, las diferentes fechas de grabación cuentan con una larga lista de quién es quién en el jazz. Pero esta lista de personal histórico es sólo el comienzo.

Es difícil superar el delicado trabajo de Oscar Peterson al piano en "Cocktails for Two" grabado en una sesión que Peterson sostiene que fue el punto culminante de su vida. La fina pincelada de Sid Catlett en "Just One of Those Things" es otra delicia. El sonido ahumado de Hawkins flota cómodamente sobre los exuberantes cambios de "Body and Soul" (su canción favorita) y una versión sin acompañamiento de su propia composición, "Picasso" redondea este lanzamiento con gran variedad. Quizás la canción más emocionante de este disco, sin embargo, es la composición de Hawkins, "Bean and the Boys" que cuenta con un maravilloso bop en solitario del pianista Tommy Flanagan y el propio Bean (Hawkins).
