Title Note

Personnel: Coleman Hawkins (tenor saxophone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Major Holley (bass); Eddie Locke (drums).

Producer: Esmond Edwards.

Compilation producer: Bob Porter.

Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on January 2, March 30 and August 16, 1962. Includes liner notes by Esmond Edwards, Nat Hentoff and Robert Levin.

Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1997, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).

This 1962 album features music from two previously released Hawkins LPs, GOOD OLD BROADWAY and MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY, plus two selections from a third record, THE JAZZ VERSION OF NO STRINGS. Hawkins' musical concept sounds relatively modern on this effort from later in his career.

Made up mostly of show tunes, ON BROADWAY is generally subdued and understated. Critics have often labeled Hawkins as mainstream jazz, however, the relaxed feel of these sessions gives the music a decidedly cool sound. Also, contrary to the argument that Hawkins' output for Prestige Records was somewhat lackluster, these Broadway classics are given warm and moving readings. Highlights include "Wouldn't it be Loverly" from MY FAIR LADY, and the attractive "Cry Like the Wind" from the musical DO, RE, MI. Hawk's own woody and mellifluous tone along with pianist Tommy Flanagan's delicate accompaniment makes this CD really sparkle.
