MAN I COULD LISTEN TO THESE STORIES ALL DAY.

[@petershaw80]

Great stuff. Should be mandatory listening for any aspiring jazz musician. Great guy.

[@funkality]

What a nice guy. Mr hawkins a real class act!!

[@blindblackpianist]

Wow, it's interesting how similar Charlie Parker's and Coleman's accents and verbal mannerisms are.

[@spb7883]

Yeah, and it makes sense: both were Midwesterners!

[@Deuce1042]

Both grew up in Missouri.

[@martindalmasi5340]

Sonny Stitt too

[@bminorscales]

Coleman relates stories here about time spent with Jack [Teagarden] and Jimmy. Is that trombonist Jimmy Harrison?

[@spb7883]

John Chilton's book on Hawkins certainly seems to suggest this (see "The Song of the Hawk: The Life and Recordings of Coleman Hawkins", pp. 53-54)
