Body And Soul - Coleman Hawkins Version

Coleman Hawkins. «I made the tenor speak in its own voice. That was the whole idea.» This is his 1939 recording of «Body and Soul» changed the language of the music - a fully formed solo that opened the door for modern jazz. Hawkins sound was powerful, warm, and unmistakably his, but his curiosity kept him evolving. He encouraged younger musicians, sat in with the emerging beboppers, and proved you could keep growing without letting go of your roots. #fyp #jazz #jazztok #saxophone #colemanhawkin
