Vintage Jazz - Swing: Cootie WIlliams, Coleman Hawkins, Rex Stewart, Together (1957)

Charles Melvin "#Cootie" Williams (July 10, 1911 – September 15, 1985) was an #American #jazz, jump #blues, and #rhythm and #blues #trumpeter.

Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed Hawk and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor #saxophonist. One of the first #prominent jazz #musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor #players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". While Hawkins is strongly associated with the #swing #music and #big #band #era, he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s.

Rex William Stewart (February 22, 1907 – September 7, 1967) was an American jazz #cornetist best remembered for his work with the Duke Ellington orchestra. After stints with Elmer Snowden, Fletcher Henderson, Horace Henderson, McKinney's Cotton Pickers, and Luis Russell, Stewart joined the Ellington band in 1934, replacing Freddie Jenkins. Ellington arranged many of his pieces to showcase Stewart's half-valve effects, muted #sound, and forceful #style.
