Coleman Hawkins, also known as “Hawk” or “Bean,” was an influential American jazz tenor saxophonist who revolutionized the role of the instrument in jazz music. He was among the first notable jazz musicians on the tenor saxophone, introducing a new improvisational style emphasizing arpeggios and a rich, emotional tone. Hawkins’ virtuosic improvisational technique influenced a generation of tenor players and played a significant role in the development of bebop. His impact on the jazz scene was recognized by fellow musicians such as Lester Young and Miles Davis.
