Sonny Rollins (ts); Coleman Hawkins (ts); Paul Bley (p); Henry Grimes, Bob Cranshaw (b); Roy McCurdy (dr)
This is a memorable meeting of a pair of genial
giants ? Sonny Rollins, who has been called again
and again the boss of the modern tenor sax, and
Coleman Hawkins, who is the father of jazz
saxophone playing.
Each has made enormous contributions to jazz
improvisation, beyond the limits of his
instrument. The sum total of their work forms the
impressive foundation for this once-in-a-lifetime
album.
This recording is extraordinary in every sense,
and not merely in that it marks the first time
(except for a brief on-stage appearance at the
1963 Newport Jazz Festival, which inspired this
studio recording) that these great musicians have
played together. Each has blended his own strong
personality with the other?s, yet neither has lost
his individuality. Where one reaches into the
other?s 'bag', it is done with musical logic and
respect; always, the goal of a cohesive duet
relationship is uppermost in each of their minds.
And perhaps the most extraordinary aspect of this
album is that neither musician plays safe; each
exercises his powerful imagination throughout,
running all the risks entailed in daring
improvisation ? but gaining also the satisfactions
inherent in such an approach.
