Our Take

Coleman Hawkins, the larger-than-life jazz saxophonist, takes us on a journey back in time with his latest release, "Intimate - Duo Trio Quartet & Quintet 1934." This album is a true treasure trove for fans of Hawkins' unmatched talent and for those looking to delve into the depths of classic jazz.

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a smoky, dimly lit jazz club in 1930s Harlem. Hawkins' soaring saxophone lines weave effortlessly through each track, with a raw energy that can only come from a musician at the top of his game. The intimacy of these recordings allows you to feel as though you are right there in the room with Hawkins and his talented bandmates.

The duo, trio, quartet, and quintet formats featured on this album showcase Hawkins' versatility as a bandleader and his ability to seamlessly blend different musical styles. Whether he's leading a small ensemble in a delicate ballad or letting loose with a high-energy swing number, Hawkins never fails to captivate and entertain.

"Intimate" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, as it offers a rare glimpse into the genius of one of the genre's most iconic figures. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Coleman Hawkins take you on a musical journey through time. You won't be disappointed.
