A very fun, and in my opinion underrated (by some) album which I remember because my wild and crazy N.Y.C. "bohemian" aunt on my Mom’s side hung out with these guys "back in the day," brought me a copy of the newly-pressed, Soul featuring Coleman Hawkins- recorded in 1958 on Prestige. In addition to Hawkins, all the other players are first tier. She would tell me about this sax player called " The Hawk." (and about some of other players she knew)
A lot of things seemed simpler then....
I find Hawkin’s work irresistible to this day.
My aunt also gave me a copy of MJQ’s "No Sun In Venice" which I still have. It’s virtually unplayable because it’s so worn out, so now I stream it. I vividly remember the impact those tunes had on me.
