Abstract:

"Both concerts feature stellar European and American side-musicians including Harry 'Sweets' Edison on trumpet and drummer 'Papa' Jo Jones - both jazz legends in their own right. The 1962 show is a newly-discovered one-hour concert from the Adolphe Sax Festival in Belgium, which has never been seen. Coleman Hawkins, 'The father of jazz saxophone, ' demonstrates in these two concerts why he is still considered one of the most important innovators in the history of jazz."--Container.
