Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Hawk and Lockjaw are unstoppable!.......2006-03-19

This is a great session that showcases what a powerful tenorman the Hawk was in his day. Lockjaw chimes in perfectly giving a great performance of his own. The tunes swing with sweet emotion and conviction. "The Hawk Flies High" and "...Encounters Ben Webster" are worth owning too. I love Coltrane, but The Hawk had such a full, smooth and rich sound that he is my favorite tenor sax master, and Night Hawk demonstrates this well. This is well worth owning and hard to find outside of online shopping.

5 out of 5 stars The review for THIS recording.......2004-04-30

In case you haven't noticed, the jazzbo2 review is not for this album but for "Hawk Flies High". "Night Hawk" features Coleman Hawkins on the left channel and protege Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis on the right. Jaws also has a big fat tenor sound, and the stereo effect is stunning. The usual high quality Fantasy remastering job. I have many Hawk recordings, but this is the one that raises the hair on the back of my neck. Consistently solid groove throughout.

5 out of 5 stars Swings like crazy.......1999-10-21

I can't tell you how often I've listened to this CD. It's stunning. Hawk swings like mad and the support is astounding: JJ Johnson, Hank Jones, Jo Jones, Oscar Pettiford. (the arrangements are delightful, especially "Blue Lights"). Smoke filled room-50's swing at its pinnacle. A perfect CD for an evening, in the the dark, with that special someone...My only wish is that it wasn't only 39 minutes. But, usually, I just put the CD player on continuous play and groove...
