Coleman Hawkins • Hawk Eyes

Review by Scott Yanow
Tenor-great Coleman Hawkins tended to be at his best when challenged by another horn player. On this highly enjoyable CD, Hawkins is joined by the superb trumpeter Charlie Shavers and a strong rhythm section that includes guitarist Tiny Grimes and pianist Ray Bryant. With such superior songs as "Through for the Night," "I Never Knew" and "La Rosita," in addition to long jams, plenty of fireworks occur during this frequently exciting session.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El gran tenor Coleman Hawkins tendía a estar en su mejor momento cuando era desafiado por otro trompetista. En este CD altamente disfrutable, Hawkins está acompañado por el magnífico trompetista Charlie Shavers y una fuerte sección rítmica que incluye al guitarrista Tiny Grimes y al pianista Ray Bryant. Con canciones de calidad superior como "Through for the Night", "I Never Knew" y "La Rosita", además de largas improvisaciones, se producen muchos fuegos artificiales durante esta sesión a menudo emocionante.
