The Coleman Hawkins Band was extending the harmonic boundaries of the music in association with younger musicians laying the seeds of the bebop revolution. Dan Block (a NY tenor saxophonist and clarinetist) and guitarist Chris Flory spent 5 years researching the period in an attempt to find the connection points and transition from Swing to Bop. This recording, Almost Modern, is the musical result of their work, including tunes by Dexter Gordon, Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas, Illinois Jacquet, Dizzy Gillespie, Gil Fuller, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and Sir Charles Thompson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Dexter Rides Again \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Too Much of a Good Thing \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Byas'd Opinion \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Illinois Goes to Chicago \u003cbr\u003e1.5 I Waited for You \u003cbr\u003e1.6 That's Earl's Brother \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Dizzy Atmosphere \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Meandering \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Setting the Pace \u003cbr\u003e1.10 I Mean You \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Sportsman's Hop \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Koko \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Disorder at the Border\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
