• In 1960, the year these recordings were made, Coleman Hawkins was in his mid ‘50s and still at the height of his creative powers. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was not out of fashion. Younger musicians did not merely respect him as a great historic figure: their admiration was open and active.

• They went to hear him play, and they played with him. As a musician and as a man, he seemed unmarked by any “generation gap.” When he played, what came out was timeless music in rich, full-bodied, imaginative phrases.

• On these three albums _ ‘All Stars’, ‘At Ease’ and ‘Night Hawk’ - made with some of the finest musicians of the swing, bop and mainstream eras – including the gilt-edged piano of the late, great Tommy Flanagan, an ever-present on all these sessions - Hawk showed yet again he remained a master able to work well within any framework. And still the boss tenor of jazz.

• Personnel : Coleman Hawkins (ts), Tommy Flanagan (p) on all tracks, plus Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Joe Thomas, Vic Dickenson, Wendell Marshall, Osie Johnson, Ron Carter, Gus Johnson - all albums recorded at Englewood Cliffs, N.J., between January 8 and December 30, 1960.

• 2 CD Set - 3 LPs on 2 CDs - 19 tracks )including one bonus track) - 24 Bit Digitally Remastered - Stereo.
