The Hawk Talks is an album by saxophonist Coleman Hawkins compiling tracks recorded between 1952 and 1953 for the Decca label which were first released on LP in 1955.[1][2][3]
On AllMusic, Scott Yanow states, "The early '50s were an "off" period for Hawkins. He had not gone through a decline in the slightest, but, due to the change in the public's (and critics') taste, his talents were being a bit underrated. By 1957 Hawkins would be on top again, but the 1951-53 recordings included on this LP find him mostly restricted to making romantic melody statements on indifferent material, mood music that it was hoped would sell much better than it eventually did".[4]
Recorded in Chicago on July 30, 1952 (tracks 3 & 7) and in New York City on January 31, 1952 (tracks 2 & 10-12), February 26, 1952 (tracks 4, 6 & 9), and April 27, 1953 (tracks 1, 5 & 8)
