Coleman Hawkins Quartet: Today And Now (Verve By Request Series)

Recorded in 1962, Hawkins’ quartet featuring Tommy Flanagan (Piano), Major Holley (Bass) and Eddie Locke (Drums) puts forth an easily palatable selection of repertoire, with up-tempo moments like “Go Li’l Liza,” "Swingin’ Scotch" alongside a trio of ballads including Quincy Jones’ “Quintessence.” The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
