Biography

Coleman Randolph Hawkins (1904-1969), nicknamed “Hawk” and sometimes “Bean”, is a prominent jazz tenor saxophone musician. He is an important pioneer on the instrument, and many consider him the father of jazz saxophone.

During his long career Hawkins was always inventive and seeking new challenges. He directly influenced many bebop performers, and later in his career, recorded or performed with such adventurous musicians as Sonny Rollins, who considered him his main influence, and John Coltrane.
