JSngry Posted 11 hours ago Report Posted 11 hours ago 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? Quote
Ken Dryden Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 hours ago Wasn’t Hawk in pretty bad health by the time Sirius was recorded? Quote
jazztrain Posted 10 hours ago Report Posted 10 hours ago I like Sirius a lot. Granted, he plays with a certain sense of world weariness, but he has a lot to say.

Is there also a thing on Pablo? 46 minutes ago, Ken Dryden said: 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. Quote
l p Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago this hawkins last known live is from the chicago tv show 'just jazz' wttw 4-19-69. hawkins at 19min Quote
Caravan Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago 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. Quote
