Remembering the great Coleman Hawkins who was born on this day in 1904. “Hawk” is considered to be the first major saxophonist in jazz history. His improvisational mastery of tenor saxophone, which had previously been viewed as little more than a novelty, helped establish the instrument as one of the most popular in jazz. Hawkins was one of the first jazz horn players with a full understanding of intricate chord progressions, and he influenced many of the great saxophonists of the swing era including Ben Webster and Chu Berry as well as leading figures in modern jazz, such as Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. His deep, full-bodied tone and quick vibrato (trembling of a note achieved by slight variations of pitch) was the expected style on jazz tenor saxophone until the advent of Lester Young in the mid-1930s, and even after Young’s appearance many players continued to absorb Hawkins’s approach. Hawkins played with inspiration for decades, managing to convey fire in his work long after his youth. His most acclaimed recording was the hit single “Body and Soul” released in 1939. Here, he is performing “Autumn Leaves” with Georges Arvanitas on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass and Kansas Fields on drums live in Dinant, Belgium in 1962. This is the birthplace of Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone.

Remembering the great Wes Montgomery who was born on this day in 1923. Known for his unusual technique of plucking the strings with the side of his thumb, and for his extensive use of octaves, which gave him a distinctive sound, Montgomery was probably the most influential improviser on his instrument. Instead of using a plectrum or fingers, he played guitar with the soft part of his thumb, resulting in a soft attack especially appropriate to his lyrical lines. He organized his solos by playing single-note melodies in initial choruses, in octaves in middle choruses, and in chords in climactic choruses. He developed this thumb technique not for technical reasons but for the benefit of his neighbors and not waking his children. He wanted to still play through am amplifier so he developed his thumb picking style. He worked long hours as a machinist before his music career began and practiced late at night. To keep everyone happy, he played quietly by using his thumb. Here, he is performing “Here’s That Rainy Day” with Stan Tracey on piano, Rick Laird on bass and Jackie Dougan on drums live in London, 1965.
