With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

Favoriting November 21, 2021: A Hill of Bean
Olympian tenor-saxophonist Coleman "Bean" Hawkins is 117 today. Or is it 120? Hey, we all lie about our age. From teenage tours with Ma Rainey, making his first recordings in 1921, present at the birth of bebop, and blowing through all the changes in music right through the 1960's, Hawkins kept up with the times, and surpassed nearly everyone.

' Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed "Hawk" and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". Hawkins biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos prior to Hawkins as "mooing" and "rubbery belches." Hawkins cited as influences Happy Caldwell, Stump Evans, and Prince Robinson, although he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet. Hawkins' virtuosic, arpeggiated approach to improvisation, with his characteristic rich, emotional, and vibrato-laden tonal style, was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry, Charlie Barnet, Tex Beneke, Ben Webster, Vido Musso, Herschel Evans, Buddy Tate, and Don Byas, and through them the later tenormen, Arnett Cobb, Illinois Jacquet, Flip Phillips, Ike Quebec, Al Sears, Paul Gonsalves, and Lucky Thompson. While Hawkins became known with swing music during the big band era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s.
Fellow saxophonist Lester Young, known as "Pres", commented in a 1959 interview with The Jazz Review: "As far as I'm concerned, I think Coleman Hawkins was the President first, right? As far as myself, I think I'm the second one." Miles Davis once said: "When I heard Hawk, I learned to play ballads." '

True, Rev, it really took place gradually, over 10 or 15 years. I have a recording of Charlie Christian playing with Diz and Max and some of the other beboppers at a jam session at Minton's Playhouse in I think 1942. And obviously Benny Goodman et al. were still the mainstream of jazz then, and bebop was just sort of an after-hours thing. Bird and Diz's peak was mid- to late 40s, but I'd say most of America didn't really catch up to it until the early to mid-50s, and by then Bird was dead, Dizzy was mostly playing Afro Cuban stuff, and Miles had moved on. All those things overlapped, bop into cool jazz, etc.

Don't think I've ever been for a spin with so many greats.
I like this (Jon Hendricks?) lyric. Only ever heard Carmen McRae sing it.

adamdoesit - the lineups are uniformly mind-blowing here. So it was with Hawk - from sidemen to his suits and his booze, he went first class all the way.

I didn't know what a <<tricheur>> was, so I looked it up.

A cheater or trickster... or a card sharp.
