Night Hawk is an album by saxophonists Coleman Hawkins with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, recorded at the end of 1960 and released on the Swingville label.[1] [2]
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer picked Hawkins' performance on "There Is No Greater Love" as the highlight, stating: "his fine sense of form and rhythmic construction [...] are exceptional, even for him". The AllMusic site awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Hawkins was one of the main inspirations of his fellow tenor Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, so it was logical that they would one day meet up in the recording studio. This CD has many fine moments from these two highly competitive jazzmen".[3]
