Coleman Hawkins - Thanks for the Memory (1944) [vinyl]

From the danair vinyl collection.

Review by Scott Yanow:
On this fine LP Hawkins is heard on four separate sessions from 1944, only one of which has since been reissued on CD. The latter is his encounter with fellow tenors Georgie Auld and Ben Webster; that date led to the little-known original recording of "Salt Peanuts." In addition he is heard with the Esquire All-Stars of 1944, on a date actually led by saxophonist Walter "Foots" Thomas" and in a matchup with trumpeter Charlie Shavers and Hawk's greatest disciple, Don Byas. Hot swing that looks forward toward the rapidly emerging bebop.

    vinyl>flac 16/44
    The start of track 1 appears to be damged, there are no obvious marks but the pressing is a bit ropey!

    Thanks for posting. You listed the last session incorrectly, it repeats the previous session personnel. It is listed on the back cover shot in the archive, however.
