Subtitled "The Complete Coleman Hawkins," the 61 songs on these four CDs
represent Hawkins' complete output for Keynote Records recorded between
January and December of 1944 with Teddy Wilson and Earl Hines as part
of the Coleman Hawkins Quintet, the Cozy Cole All-Stars, Coleman Hawkins
and His Sax Ensemble and the All-American Four, Charlie Shavers' All
American Five, and George Wettling's New Yorkers -- Hawkins and
Wettling's first contact went back close to 20 years, to the Roseland
Ballroom. At the time, Hawkins had given up trying to make it as the
leader of a big band, and had returned to playing with small groups in
the clubs along New York's 52nd Street. A joint project of PolyGram and
Nippon Phonogram of Japan, this set is loaded with previously unissued
takes and tracks from Hawkins' Keynote library, which also features Roy
"Little Jazz" Eldridge and Billy Taylor. From the opening bars of two
different previously unissued takes of "I Only Have Eyes For You," the
set shows its worth, presenting outtakes that are equal in value to any
of their released counterparts -- Wilson and Hawkins perform superbly on
all three versions, with markedly different performances on each,
pretty much representing the way all of the outtakes here are fully
justified. Each disc has more than its share of worthwhile rarities and
previously unreleased cuts, and one leads into the next so well that it
is difficult to take in just one of the these four discs at a time. From
Disc Two onward, there is also more improvisation than one is
accustomed to in jazz recordings if this era, owing to the fact that
many of the sessions used the 12-inch master disc format, which allowed
for just over five minutes' playing time, nearly 60% more than the usual
three minutes-and-change, giving all of the players a chance to stretch
out in ways closer to their usual stage and radio performances (though I
wouldn't change the various three-minute versions of "Bean at the Met"
on Disc One for any amount of money). The sound is generally superb,
with an intimate, live-in-the-studio ambience and very little in the way
of noise, considering the age of the recordings (no enhanced noise
reduction of any kind has been used on this set). Bruce Eder
