DESCRIPTION:
Bay Area saxophonist Howard Wiley digs into Coleman Hawkins' 'Body and Soul' — both on his saxophone, and by using the standard to explain how vital Hawkins was to the development of jazz, and the saxophone.

This video was filmed for Howard Wiley's tribute to Coleman Hawkins' 'Body and Soul' in 2014 at SFJAZZ Hotplate in Joe Henderson Lab (SFJAZZ Center). SFJAZZ Hotplate is a monthly series (every 2nd Thursday) that features local artists re-imagining the music of jazz legends. Learn more at sfjazz.org.
