5 out of 5 stars Hawk -- Still Flying High.......2003-07-22

Coleman Hawkins virtually invented the jazz tenor saxophone. It was an equally amazing feat that thirty years after he rose to stardom in Fletcher Henderson's big band, he could still make an album as consistently enjoyable as "Hawk Eyes." This Prestige date from April 1959 finds Hawk returning to his roots with and old friend from his big band days, trumpeter Charlie Shavers. The rest of the group on this session -- guitarist Tiny Grimes, pianist Ray Bryant, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Osie Johnson -- are more identified with the bebop school, but they can handle the swing just find too. The success of this and other Prestige/Riverside albums jump started a second career for Hawk, who showed that even in the late 1950s those "Hawk Eyes" were as sharp as ever.
