The Good Stuff

Coleman Hawkins

THE HAWK FLIES HIGH

Riverside / OJCCD    1957 / 1987

Notes : Hawkins literally invented Jazz saxophone, starred in the first Jazz big band, and played with unfailing strength and invention into the sixties.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers

FIRST FLIGHT TO TOKYO

Recorded / Released by Blue Note   1961 / 2021   2CD set

Excellent packaging and absolutely Outstanding Booklet.

This set is a previously unissued gig by one of the greatest lineups in the long history of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers -- Blakey, drums; Bobby Timmons, piano; Wayne Shorter, saxophone; Lee Morgan, trumpet; Jymie Merrit, bass. First Flight to Tokyo: The Lost 1961 Recordings are drawn from the final shows of the band's first tour of Japan. They were professionally recorded on a Nagra tape recorder to serve as a soundtrack for a documentary film that was never completed. At some point over the decades, the original tapes were transferred to quarter-inch tape reels, cataloged, shelved, and sat some more -- they were never really "lost."  ---  All Music Guide
