Can SomeonePlease Identify What is Playing in this Video??

Could someone please identify the music playing in this YouTube Video? It sounds like Coleman Hawkins. I may be wrong. Thanks.

The audio cuts off right when the tenor solo starts, but I could go Illinois Jacquet on this one, actually.

I think Jim's got it. Also, the drummer sounds to me like Shadow Wilson, which would fit. The pianist then should be/might be Sir Charles Thompson, but I don't get a Sir Charles vibe as strongly as I do a Shadow Wilson one -- touch sounds a wee bit heavy for Sir Charles, but that might be because the pianist was miked that way.

It's not Hawkins. It sounds a lot like Jacquet, but it's not.

It's John Hardee. The tune is Cobblestones.

It was issued on the "Sittin' In With" label. Personnel:

John Hardee(ts), Al Haig (p), Clyde Lombardi (b), Tiny Kahn (d). 1948.

Did not know that homeboy Hardee recorded for that label. Is the material readily available?

I have it on cd on Classics 1136 (John Hardee, 1946-1948). I think I might also have it on a Spotlite LP but can't check until later.

Good work!

Thanks!

Your welcome. Glad to help.

As I had kind of remembered, it's also on a Spotlite LP: Al Haig Meets the Master Saxes Volume One.

Thanks!
