The Hawk Relaxes is an album by saxophonist Coleman Hawkins which was recorded in 1961 and released on the Moodsville label.[1] [2]
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This quintet – as unique as any Hawkins ever fronted – speaks to his open mindedness, but more so to his innate ability in adapting musicians to his situational hitting. The Hawk Relaxes is one of his best latter period efforts".[3]
