From Amazon.co.uk
As he grew older Coleman Hawkins lost the abundant imagination and instrumental fluency that had put him at the forefront of jazz saxophone players. But the music that he played instead was exhilarating and exciting in a different way. His sound became terse and threatening and his ideas were often punched out with great violence. This 1959 set teams him with trumpeter Charlie Shavers, guitarist Tiny Grimes and pianist Ray Bryant. This album should not be missed, for it is one of the most exciting examples of mainstream jazz ever recorded. Shavers' pyrotechnical trumpet makes a perfect foil for Hawkins and you could warm your hands in the heat that comes off this music! The huge blues of the title brings out declamatory trumpet from Shavers and Hawkins answers him with a marathon of a solo that is both gruff and eloquent. Bryant was the perfect choice on piano and, although this is a jam session, these are hardened pros and the theme statements of such classics as Trummy Young's "Through For The Night" and "I Never Knew" drop easily into place. Hawkins demonstrates that he could still play a ballad succinctly and with perfectly judged sentiment on "La Rosita". --Steve Voce

カスタマーレビュー

円熟のホーキンスに刺客現る？
　大ベテランのホーキンスに、四弦ギターの猛者のタイニー・グライムスと、強力トランペッター、チャーリー・シェイヴァースが絡みます。この二人もベテランなのに、まあ元気のいいこと！　グライムスのギターは不良っぽさ全開でファンキーそのものです。ホーキンスも一部でコルトレーン（！）のフレーズを真似るなどアグレッシブなテナー。ベテラン三人を支えるのは、レイ・ブライアントのコクのあるピアノ。聴き所満載の佳作です。
