Erskine Hawkins - And His Orchestra
Review by Klemens Lehnemann
Erskine Hawkins' album "And His Orchestra" is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the legendary bandleader's exceptional musicianship and his band's remarkable talent. Released in 1960, the album features 12 tracks that range from swing and blues to jazz and R&B, all performed with impeccable precision and soulful flair.
From the opening track "Tippin' In," a lively swing number that showcases Hawkins' virtuoso trumpet playing, to the closing ballad "After Hours," a hauntingly beautiful composition that features the band's lush harmonies and delicate solos, the album is a tour de force of musical excellence.
Other standout tracks include "Bear Mash Blues," a rollicking blues tune that highlights the band's tight rhythm section and Hawkins' soaring trumpet lines, and "Soft Winds," a sultry ballad that showcases the band's romantic side and Hawkins' lyrical playing.
