There is so much to love about Coleman Hawkins, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. John Digester has compared writing for Coleman Hawkins’s new album to that on ‘Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges Alive!’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Lead single “Perdido” and “Satin Doll” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This album is a scorcher!
Once you hear Satin Doll, you will listen to it over and over. Musically Mack the Knife is superior to other tracks in Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges Alive!. The Rabbit in Jazz is a song to enjoy for years to come. It’s the Talk of the Town - I like this one. Caravan - A nice song. Coleman Hawkins offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself.
