Hi Jazz cats,

Among the many inspirational tunes, here is a special one that I discovered thanks to a listening session hosted by Wynton Marsalis and Vincent Gardner during covid. I am very thankful to the JALC family for providing valuable content especially during that strange time.

For this one, I am showcasing Coleman Hawkins playing the Love Theme from “Apache:”

What a lovely, deep, emotional melody played by one of the greats! I need to work on providing that emotion with the proper feel and vibrato. This ballad struck a chord and still hits my emotions. I can’t explain it.
