About this album

Moonglow brings together Kenny Burrell and Coleman Hawkins in a refined jazz session built on melodic ease and deep swing. Issued in 1981, the compilation highlights Burrell’s elegant guitar tone alongside Hawkins’ authoritative tenor saxophone, two distinct voices that complement each other across standards and original material. The set draws on repertoire such as Moonglow, Speak Low and I Thought About You, showing how both players could shape familiar songs with effortless poise and harmonic intelligence. It stands as an appealing example of post-bop taste meeting classic swing lineage, with the warmth and understatement that kept both musicians so influential.
