On this November day, as twilight kisses the horizon, we gather our thoughts to celebrate the legendary Coleman Hawkins—a maestro whose breath transformed brass into poetry. He wasn't just a man with a saxophone; he was a conjurer of emotions, a voyager navigating the uncharted waters of jazz.

On Friday, October 14th, Flushing Town Hall will present “The Swinging Sounds of Coleman Hawkins” featuring Lew Tabackin and his ensemble.

Saxophonist Lew Tabackin is one of New York City’s most notable jazz musicians, whose importance was acknowledged this summer when he was presented a Lifetime Achievement Award by The Jazz Foundation of America.
