Although serious collectors will want to get the comprehensive Classics releases, this is a perfect place for more general listeners to begin. Hawkins' three biggest hits (\"Tuxedo Junction,\" \"After Hours,\" and \"Tippin' In\") lead off the set which otherwise has highlights from 1938-42. With the exception of 1945's \"Tippin' In\" (which features some memorable lead alto by Bobby Smith), all of Hawkins' key soloists are here, including the leader and Dud Bascomb on trumpets, either Paul Bascomb or Julian Dash on tenor, baritonist Haywood Henry, and pianist Avery Parrish (who made \"After Hours\" famous). Timeless swing. ~ Scott Yanow\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"RCA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49606180241688,"sku":"078635968224","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3894719.jpg?v=1777617634","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/original-tuxedo-junction-ersk","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
