The Hawk in Paris

The Hawk in Paris is an album by saxophonist Coleman Hawkins featuring compositions related to Paris performed with an orchestra arranged and conducted by Manny Albam which was recorded in 1956 for the RCA Records subsidiary Vik label.

[1][2] Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Manny Albam's arrangements mostly avoid being muzaky and quite often are creative and witty.

What could have been a novelty or an insipid affair is actually one of Coleman Hawkins's more memorable albums".
