Charlie Parker vs Coleman Hawkins

Musical Group or Musician

Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins are two influential American saxophonists: Parker (alto) a leading figure of bebop, Hawkins (tenor) a major figure of the swing era. They appear together on historic recordings and performances.

Charlie Parker (1920–1955), American alto saxophonist and leading figure of bebop. Coleman Hawkins (1904–1969), American tenor saxophonist and major figure of the swing era.

A DeBaser post shares a three-minute YouTube clip of Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins from 1950. The reviewer contrasts Parker's intense, restless bebop approach with Hawkins' composed, older style. The piece highlights Parker's virtuosity and theatrical presence during the performance.

For:Jazz listeners; fans of bebop and swing; listeners interested in historic saxophone performances.

 This is not a review, it's the desire to share a video that I've been enjoying for some time in all its three minutes on YouTube, this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta_UByyi4Z0.
