Coleman Hawkins – Today And Now (1963/2012) [AcousticSounds DSF DSD64/2.82MHz + FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz]

Coleman Hawkins recorded three sessions for Impulse Records in the early to mid ’60s. Of the three, Today And Now is the most compelling. The unusual choice of repertoire is what sets this album apart. Versions of the traditional song “Go Li’s Liza” and the fairly obscure Quincy Jones ballad “Quintessence” are creatively rendered. Indeed, Hawk seems inspired throughout; he plays with an abandon that is altogether effortless.

01 – Go Li’l Liza
02 – Quintessence
03 – Don’t Love Me
