Rainbow Mist


Rainbow Mist is an album by the American jazz saxophonist Coleman Hawkins compiling recordings from 1944 originally released by Apollo Records that was released by the Delmark label in 1992.

Reception

Allmusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "For his recording session of February 16, 1944, the great tenor invited some of the most promising younger players and the result was the very first bebop on records.... Also on this highly recommended CD are four titles matching together the tenors of Hawkins, Ben Webster, and Georgie Auld and a session from Auld's big band, highlighted by Sonny Berman's trumpet solo".
