• Two outstanding studio albums, in their entirety, made by Coleman Hawkins in 1959-60 : both ‘Night Hawk’ (Prestige/Swingville) and ‘Very Saxy’ (Prestige) pair Hawk with fellow tenor saxophonist Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, a younger player who obviously admired Hawk.

• Apart from these two albums, Hawkins and Davis would never record together again. ‘Night Hawk’ is a quintet album, showcasing both saxophonists with the support of a strong rhythm section. ‘Very Saxy’ brings four great tenor saxophonists together.
