Wow That Major Holley!
Andrew Stevenson | Union Springs, New York | 08/20/2004
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Both tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins and pianist Tommy Flanagan play well on this music recorded live at the Village Gate in 1962. Hawk especially seems to be having fun as he playfully tinkers and toys with some of his solos. The standout, however, is the big stomping bassist Major Holley. He's a presence throughout and he's given plenty of solo space. An added treat is his hum-singing (I don't know how else to describe it) during some of his solos. Drummer Eddie Locke keeps everything moving and on time. Another treat is hearing Hawk's voice as he introduces tunes. This CD includes two welcome cuts absent from the original LP."
