I have two Colman Hawkins CD's. "The Ultimate Coleman Hawkins As Selected By Sonny Rollins," and "The Genius Of Coleman Hawkins." Both on the Verve label. I just did a quick review of both and did not pick up strings on any arrangement. A lot of piano accompaniment and sometimes guitar. -Scott
Coleman Hawkins
I have several albums from tenor saxophonists Ben Webster, Stan Getz, etc., accompanied by string orchestra. I want to know if Coleman Hawkins did any work accompanied by a string orchestra or not. I did a search, but didn't see any such albums. So I am not sure if he ever played accompanied by strings. Appreciate your replies.
