Where Art Thou Coleman Hawkins CD or Lp

[Jon King]

Some time in the last ten years, as I try to splice together this nagging gap in my peace of mind, I was biding my time in a mall store that featured those bin-mounted headphones to preview the recordings for sale.   
I frequently did this in any location my traveling guide would enable.  She had her dept stores to occupy her attention after all. 
Okay, I opened this chasm of distress that day when I previewed what has come to be a source of anguish. 
Help me if you can, I’m in angst. 
       Subject:  A festive covered CD or LP by a who’s who of mainstream players fronted by Coleman Hawkins and titled to include a reference such as ‘and Friends’ or some other phrase.  I believe my interest heightened when I saw Urbie Green and several other younger stars amongst the war horses.  
Well, my jaded attitude that day led me to listen skeptically while uncomfortably shifting my weight from mall shopping inhumanity.  I put the recording back in the bin and left.
A short while later my traveling guide asked if I had ‘found anything.’ And I admitted to finding this mystery item.  She urged me to go back and buy it.  So, I tried and alas, it was gone.   Please refer me to the correct possible album, if you can.  Thanks more than I can ever imagine.

Session at Riverside in some incarnation?

[Jon King]

No, it had like a modern colorful cover w/ a large cohort of musicians as in parade mode.  
Thanks for your response. 

[JSngry]

Define festive?

[Jon King]

At Riverside is not it. But I have it already.  I think the mystery album was recorded much more recently.  
Thanks

[JSngry]

Festive? Maybe. Urbie Green? Definitely. Friends? Afraid not.

On, no parade mode. Never mind.

[jazzbo]

If it had Urbie and Hawkins I'm at a loss. Went through the Hawkins discography and nothing is coming up with that sort of cover except. . . .

[JSngry]

Urbie and Hawk did Wrapped Tight, but other than that...and that's not exactly full of "younger stars"... Barry Harris, maybe, in 1965.

[Jon King]

Re: JSngry’s cross- references

I didn’t realize that WRAPPED TIGHT had Urbie.  I will plan to check it out. 
The mystery is still ongoing.

Thanks for your insights.   
 

PS. The memory I have is of an unusual group along the Concert Jazz Band or Monk     Orchestra examples in size.  Also, similar to the Bob Haggart multi-disc birthday party set in track selection and personnel choices. Hmmm. 

I also remember that the players included some players in the Dixieland field.  And I was impressed with the unusual playing by this unlikely group.   

[nighthawk68]

I'm intrigued. Maybe this one?

[Jon King]

Interesting album. I think I may have to keep trying.  The band had some Dixieland players in the ranks as I recall.  
Thanks for your input.

There are also the records with Red Allen that include some of the Dixieland crowd - Warhorses and High Standards.   I don't know if any packaging of this music meets your description.  The original LPs don't.

I’m becoming a much keener Coleman Hawkins fan with everyone’s responses. I wasn’t aware that another recording stretch included Red Allen.  I’ll give that a listen too. 
Thanks for the advisory.

In which country were you when this happened?  Could be the cover you remember was of a foreign release.

[Jon King]

US and my mall shopping has always been less than robust.  I prefer online nowadays for such record-buying.  
Thanks for the suggestion of repackaging and or imported items.  

[Jon King]

Chuck Nessa, your efforts are most appreciated.  I’m learning more about Coleman Hawkins from this exchange with everyone who has responded.  It’s beginning to point to my memory and a 74-year-old owner as having a Let’s Get Lost moment or two.  
Thanks for your help.  JK

I still like the implicit festivality of this cover:

kinda festivates right along with this one:

[felser]

[Jon King]

Per the “festivality” and the “festivation” of the aforementioned Impulse album and the Crusaders tie-dye background, I couldn’t agree more.  It’s not Blue Note, but it’s a good effort anyhow.   Oh, I just remembered Atlantic had some honorable mentions for sure.  Agree??

Thanks felser.  I have the jazz party album, ordered in high hopes at the time. 

[Chuck Nessa]

Festive???

[Jon King]

Very festive.  Great energy.
