Stoned Hawkins 1964
The “Grand Old Man” of the Tenor Saxophone Hawkins (Born Nov. 21, 1904, in St. Joseph) has been an influential figure in Jazz from the 20s until his death in 1969.
This clip is from a concert he did in England in 1964 together with Harry “Sweet” Edison on trumpet. The fine rhythm group has one of the world’s best drummers, Jo Jones.
Coleman is alway so comfortable on the plain twelve bar blues.A head arrangement was made and called “Stoned”, a blues in Bb.
And by gosh, does it ever swing!
