Coleman Hawkins Genius of Coleman Hawkins Release Date: 1957 10 16 Running Time: 78:36 Label: Verve Rating:

Genius may not be the right word, but "brilliance" certainly fits. At the age of 51 in 1957 Hawkins had already been on records for 35 years and had been one of the leading tenors for nearly that long. This CD matches him with the Oscar Peterson Trio (plus drummer Alvin Stoller) for a fine runthrough on standards. Hawk plays quite well, although the excitement level does not reach the heights of his sessions with trumpeter Roy Eldridge. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
