Reviews

Jazz Rag - John Martin

At just under four hours of solid listening these sessions are as good examples of this kind of non partisan jazz as you might wish to hear.

Jazz Journal - Graham Colombe

Overall this package contains plenty of magnificent playing by Hawkins and most of the support is of the high quality he so amply deserved.
