Coleman Hawkins: Deep Cuts
Playlist - 15 Songs
This tenor saxophonist's vibrato creates a pillowy sound that makes you want to hang out and relax. Studio recordings of Hawkins' ‘30s work limit the duration of some of his songs, but live versions of tracks like “Body and Soul” give listeners plenty of time to sink into his plush sonics. On hard-charging dance numbers like “Original Dixieland One-Step”, the short song length suits the soloist's brisker style later on.
