Release Notes:
At Ease is one of the most charming and attractive of the many
albums the two made togetherùa collection of ballads played with
great affection for the melody. Hawkins could be fiercely
aggressive in his playing. In this collection, he displays his
tenderness. If ever there was a master of the ballad, it was
Coleman Hawkins. His romantic style and sound caused one writer to
say: "Hawk turned the saxophone into the sexophone."
At Ease was done for the Moodsville series but while Hawkins, with
the expert help of his pianist, Tommy Flanagan, sets a mood on
eight standards, it is never merely mood music.
with Tommy Flanagan, Wendell Marshall, Osie Johnson ôI was the
engineer on the recording sessions and I also made the masters for
the original LP issues of these albums. Since the advent of the
CD, other people have been making the masters. Mastering is the
final step in the process of creating the sound of the finished
product. Now, thanks to the folks at the Concord Music Group who
have given me the opportunity to remaster these albums, I can
present my versions of the music on CD using modern technology. I
remember the sessions well, I remember how the musicians wanted to
sound, and I remember their reactions to the playbacks. Today, I
feel strongly that I am their messenger.ö ùRudy Van Gelder
