Coleman Hawkins is considered to have been the first great tenor saxophone soloist, performing in the early 1920s with Fletcher Henderson and Mamie Smith’s Jazz Hounds. He was the predecessor and inspiration for Ben Webster and Lester Young in the 1930s and he later demonstrated prescience as one of the first to hire Thelonious Monk at a time when few were able to comprehend how far-reaching Monk’s influence would be. Hawkins’ 1939 recording of Body and Soul, made shortly after returning to the US following an extended time spent in Europe, has gone down as one of the most famous recordings in all of jazz history.
