Coleman Hawkins Ratings confusion

[Jazztropic]

Read through the Coleman Hawkins thread on this site and some members offered opinions on his cds.Like Hawk Relaxes and others that AMG gave very poor ratings.I never came across a bad Hawkins cd yet.Anyone have thoughts on the differences .I do not find AMG always reliable but it is a good reference.

BTW Chuck Nessa may be able to answer What is the Uptown cd release of C Hawkins Jamestown 1949 (think that is the title) is like.Is it esential?The next gift card I get I may get it.

Thanks

AMG can be useful as a tool for finding out what exists, and when it was released. I would take many of the ratings with a grain of salt.

The Uptown Hawk is not essential. It is/was probably a typical gig for him at the time. It is from 1958.
