• Hawk and Flanagan had played and recorded together on many occasions, and these long unavailable sets - taken from two separate radio broadcasts from the London House, Chicago in 1963, constitute their final collaborative recordings.

• As a bonus, there is a live version of “Body and Soul” by Hawk, which was also recorded in a quartet format, and appears here on CD for the first time ever.

• Personnel : Coleman Hawkins (ts), Tommy Flanagan, piano; Major Holley, bass; Eddie Locke, drums. Bonus track : Coleman Hawkins (ts), Eddie Higgins (p), Bob Cranshaw (b), & Walter Perkins (d). Playboy Jazz Festival, Chicago, August 9, 1959.

• Total Time: 62:46 - 9 tracks - Includes 16-page booklet.

• Coleman Hawkins remained perennially modern with an open ear for innovation. During the mid forties, he invited such musicians as Miles Davis, Fats Navarro, Oscar Pettiford and Max Roach to join his band, and it was thanks to Hawkins that Thelonious Monk first entered a recording studio. He would even record a celebrated date with Sonny Rollins in 1963.
