Sonny Meets Hawk!

A radical 1963 summit where the father of the tenor sax meets his most experimental son. Standards are dismantled with jagged, avant-garde wit and deep warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring, almost cubist solo by Rollins on 'All the Things You Are' that seems to dismantle the song's harmonic structure.

Coleman Hawkins' breathy, traditional warmth providing a grounded anchor against Sonny's wild, experimental leaps.

The moment on 'Yesterdays' where the two tenors finally lock into a brief, haunting unison before diverging again.
