• The two outstanding quartet studio albums made by Coleman Hawkins in 1959-60 in their entirety. ‘Coleman Hawkins with the Red Garland Trio’ (originally on Prestige/Swingville) is the only existing recording of Hawkins and Garland together. The quartet album ‘At Ease with Coleman Hawkins’ (originally on Moodsville) features Hawk accompanied by another great pianist: Tommy Flanagan.

• This was a renaissance period in Hawk’s career - and he enjoyed collaborating with younger, cutting edge musicians, as he did with Sonny Rollins, and here with two pianists of the modern school : Red Garland and Tommy Flanagan.

• “...represents one of his most consistently rewarding recording efforts in a long time.” Down Beat (John S. Wilson) - original Down Beat review for the ‘with the Red Garland’ album. “Hawkins sounds like he was in a mellow mood when he made this album. The notes flow from his horn in thick, rich phrases.” (Don DeMicheal) - original Down Beat review for ‘At Ease’.

• Personnel : Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax, on all tracks, with: Red Garland, piano; Doug Watkins, bass; Charles “Specs” Wright, drums - Hackensack, New Jersey, August 12, 1959. And : Tommy Flanagan, piano; Wendell Marshall, bass; Osie Johnson, drums - Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, January 29, 1960. Total Time: 78:28 - 13 tracks - Includes 16-page booklet

Reviews

Record Collector - Charles Waring

The set contains two complete albums, both classics.

Jazz Journal - Andy Hamilton

It's a joy to hear the majestic, warmly expressive and intensely human sound that Hawkins conjured from the tenor sax.
