Sonny Meets Hawk! is a 1963 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, with Coleman Hawkins appearing as guest artist. [5] It was recorded at RCA Victor Studio B in New York City on July 15 and 18, 1963. The album features some of Rollins's most avant-garde playing. [6]
The album marks the first time the two saxophonists had entered a recording studio together, although they had appeared on stage together briefly that same year at the Newport Jazz Festival. [7]
