The Gilded Hawk


The Gilded Hawk is an album by saxophonist Coleman Hawkins with an orchestra arranged and conducted by Glenn Osser which was recorded in late 1956 and early 1957 and released on the Capitol label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "this LP finds the great tenor being weighed down by Glenn Osser's muzaky arrangements for the strings. Since Hawkins does little other than caress the melodies, nothing significant happens, making this one of the most dispensable Coleman Hawkins ever".
