Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins
TWO GREAT TENOR SAXOPHONE men were my gigantic happiness today! I listened to the immortals Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins. These bright and shiny men of the tenor saxophone have such a terrific presence in jazz history. When you dig these guys you realize what awesome music is all about. The sound of vigorous, linear jazz lines makes one appreciate the magnificent gift of life. We enjoy breathing and so we enjoy superior and so articulate grand music. I love listening to these tenor sax men. The have the heady, creative essence that I call "greatness."
