Includes liner notes by Harvey Pekar. From the mid-'50s until Coleman Hawkins's death in 1969, the tenor-saxophonist frequently teamed up with trumpeter Roy Eldridge to form a potent team. However, Hawkins rarely met altoist Johnny Hodges on the bandstand, making this encounter a special event. Long versions of "Satin Doll," "Perdido" and "The Rabbit in Jazz" give these three classic jazzmen (who are ably assisted by the Tommy Flanagan Trio) chances to stretch out and inspire each other. 00:42:00XSpeak Your MindXnoCubanology Mediablog,Cubanology,Jazz Greats,Musical Special,Classic JazzRecorded live at the Village Gate, New York City on August 13 & 15, 1962.

"These 1962 recordings originally appeared on two LPs called Mighty Mongo and Viva Mongo!, and they capture the barely controlled excitement that Mongo Santamaria's percussion-based music can generate in a live performance. While there are jazz elements present, particularly on some of the standard repertoire like "Tenderly" and "Body and Soul," it's the Cuban elements that dominate. Merengue, mambo, guajira, and descarga rhythms are driven by congas, timbales, and the collective chanting of the band. The authenticity extends to Rolando Lozano's airy wooden flute, while tenor saxophonist Jose Silva adds jazz-based lines that are rooted deep in the rhythm." --Stuart Broomer01:30:00XSpeak Your MindXnoMongo Santamaria,Cuban music meets Jazz,At the Black Hawk Album,David Sandoval,Delexilio BandJoin me and special guest David Sandoval from the Delexilio "ROCK + ROLL WITH CUBAN SOUL."
