I asked this question back on Board Krypton and have forgotten the answers.

What recordings have existed for these, the truly last recordings of Coleman Hawkins?

I like Sirius a lot.  Granted, he plays with a certain sense of world weariness, but he has a lot to say.

Here is some later (post-Sirius) Hawk courtesy of Lord:

Thanks! Is there also a thing on Pablo?

Wasn’t Hawk in pretty bad health by the time Sirius was recorded?

He was in bad shape for that date, but this 1967 clip shows him in better shape:

 

Call me morbid, but I find it...necessary to hear the "last gasps" of greatness. That's where the story ends.

And if it ain't pretty, so be it.

That clip from "JATP 1967" is in fact from Oct 1966. Saw Hawk that year with that package. Others were Dizzy, Clark Terry, Zoot Sims, James Moody, Teddy Wilson, Bob Cranshaw, Louie Bellson. That same year I saw Ayler and had seen Coltrane the year before. Memories.
