1955 · Accent On Tenor and 3 more
In 1958, the same year Coleman Hawkins cut his own showcase album The Genius of Coleman Hawkins, he also backed a blues record titled after the hit Broadway character from South Pacific — a founding father of jazz tenor sax turning up on session work far outside his usual world.
1958 · The Saxophone Section With Coleman Hawkins
Eddie Jones held the bottom of the band on Count Basie At Newport (1957) and on Basie (1955). He left Count Basie's orchestra in the early 1960s and spent the years that followed employed at IBM, playing only occasionally — the anchor of that rhythm section changed day jobs.
1958 · Ella Fitzgerald At The Opera House and 1 more
The 1958 second volume of Ella Fitzgerald's Duke Ellington Song Book ends with "Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald," a four-part piece written for her rather than drawn from the existing catalogue. It is an instrumental: the orchestra plays it, and the singer whose name is on the cover sits it out.
