The Basie Saxophone Section Starring Coleman Hawkins - The Basie Saxophone Section
Review by Janco Jenema
The Basie Saxophone Section's self-titled album featuring Coleman Hawkins has received critical acclaim for its exceptional musicianship and dynamic arrangements. The album showcases the talents of some of the most renowned saxophonists of the era, including Frank Wess, Marshall Royal, and Charlie Fowlkes, all of whom were members of Count Basie's orchestra.
The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, with each track highlighting the unique style and virtuosity of each saxophonist. The opening track, "Blues for Frank and Cannon," is a standout, with Hawkins and Wess trading solos over a swinging Basie-inspired groove. Other highlights include the Duke Ellington classic "In a Sentimental Mood," which features a beautiful solo by Royal, and the album's closer, "The Goof and I," which showcases Fowlkes' bluesy and soulful playing.
