Coleman Hawkins And Roy Eldridge - Coleman Hawkins And Roy Eldridge At The Opera House
Review by Lee Hutchinson
Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge at the Opera House is a jazz album that showcases the talents of two legendary musicians. The album features Hawkins on tenor saxophone and Eldridge on trumpet, and was recorded live at the Opera House in Chicago in 1957.
The album opens with a lively rendition of "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The two musicians trade solos throughout the album, with each song showcasing their individual styles.
One standout track is "The Man I Love," which features a beautiful, soulful solo by Hawkins. Eldridge's trumpet playing is equally impressive, particularly on the upbeat "Sweet Georgia Brown."
The album has a relaxed, easy-going feel to it, with the musicians clearly enjoying themselves on stage. The audience can be heard clapping and cheering throughout the album, adding to the live atmosphere.

Summary by Lee Hutchinson
Comments
Great trumpet solo
How does he do THAT. I can listen to Roy for ages, he is just INCREDIBLE.
As much as I love Roy and Dizzy's playing, smoking did them both in, in getting the air thru their horns. Young wind musicians: all smoking does is maybe make you look cool but destroys your lung capacity and the amount of air you can put through your horn. Cigarettes WILL destroy your lung capacity; Cigars will sooner than
you think destroy you lip and lung capacity, smokeless tobacco will kill you lip.
Drugs of abuse in general, including the genuine poison of alcohol will take control if you let them and they will destroy you: BEST of my advise: Stay clear of alcohol and any other mind altering substance.Last time I saw Diz was in 1987 at Blues Alley in Georgetown, D.C. that keen intelligent, playful force had faded from his eyes: I think he knew he was dying. Diz tried his best in '87 to recreate who he was at his height like I'd never saw from anyone. Too many cigars & Liver Cancer (from whatever cause) did him in.

God's in the house. Good night.
smoking while playing shouldbe made compulsory; it must help ,just look at these ol` cats.
yes that true!!!
THANKS for uploading a video, of Roy, at his, characteristic, best. Also, it's Osie (not Ozie) Johnson, on drums. There's a vibraphone in the background, and a bass player ... but don't know who either are.
Beautiful performance, amazing poignance.
