This remastered two-fer combines tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins' 1963 releases Today and Now and Desafinado. Originally, these LPs were released separately on Impulse. Today is a straight-ahead date with pleasant renditions of the standards "Go Li'l Liza," "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree," and "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet." Desafinado is an attempt to match Brazilian rhythms with standards such as "I Remember You," "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover (Jazz Samba)," and the title track. Both sessions are enjoyable, relaxing, and breezy. While new liner notes are absent, Impulse had the good taste to restore the original packaging: front and back cover art and liner notes.
