Coleman Hawkins (aka 'Hawk' or 'Bean') began playing louder, with a stiff reed, to be heard over the band. He rescued the tenor saxophone from its role as a tubby comedian, abolishing the slap-tongue technique, and finally, inspired by the young pianist Art Tatum, began to improvise on the tune's chord structure: he singlehandedly established the tenor saxophone as a primary instrument in jazz
A near perfect example of this rare Jazz collectible
