Yes, I’ve had that one too, and Hawkins is my favorite sax player. They also have one too where he plays with Coltrane. They play some songs with Coltrane bass and drummer, some with Ellington guys.

I’ve read that the ultra-temperamental Mingus walked out of the sessions several times in frustration.

Duke, Monk, and Mingus (in that order) were the three greatest jazz composers, imo. Monk and Mingus had screws loose, but they were brilliant.

As far as sax players go, my faves include (in no particular order): Johnny Hodges, Coleman Hawkins, John Gilmore, Pat Patrick (father of former MA Gov., Deval Patrick), Stan Getz, Don Byas, Harry Carney, Pepper Adams, …among others.
