Coleman Hawkins

I have several albums from tenor saxophonists  Ben Webster, Stan Getz, etc., accompanied by string orchestra. I want to know if Coleman Hawkins did any work accompanied by a string orchestra or not. I did a search, but didn't see any such albums. So I am not sure if he ever played accompanied by strings. Appreciate your replies.

You’re welcome.

Don’t know if you know these “with strings” recordings. Alto instead of tenor, one of my favorite saxophone with strings recordings:

In a more modern vein. From probably the greatest of the post-Coltrane tenor players:

I have Cannonball Adderley with Strings record, a Japanese pressing and Charlie Parker with Strings, in a set of 6 LPs from Verve (1948-50, 50-51, 1952). I was listening to Charlie Parker with Strings yesterday that also included a live recording from Carnegie Hall in addition to studio recording. I will try to find Claus Ogerman. Thanks
