A giant of tenor saxophone, his brilliance in his later years - a night at Village Gate where his "living" sounds resonate.
Coleman Hawkins, the founder of jazz tenor, gave a powerful live performance at a prestigious jazz club in New York. A magnificent masterpiece that combines the depth of his mastery with a sense of dynamism.
"Hawkins! Alive! At the Village Gate" is an LP released in 1973, recording tenor sax pioneer Coleman Hawkins' live performance at the prestigious New York club "Village Gate" in 1962. Having established the golden age of swing in the 1940s, he continued to evolve into the 1960s, leaving a vivid impression with his attitude of playing alongside younger musicians.
