Topic: Alvin Hawkins


  
  Alvin Hawkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alvin Hawkins (December 2, 1821–April 27, 1905) was governor of Tennessee from 1881 to 1883.
Elected to Congress in 1862 as a Union supporter, Hawkins was denied his seat due to the secession of Tennessee from the Union (an act by his fellow Representatives that would seem to suggest that secession was legally possible and binding).
Hawkins was elected governor as a Republican in 1880.

 Mountain Monthly Newspaper, Cloudcroft, New Mexico
Hawkins was considering moving on to California, where his brother had gone five years before, when he heard reports that Geronimo and the Apaches were on the warpath, and signed up with a regiment of the New Mexico Volunteers to run them down.
Hawkins accompanied Charles Bishop Eddy on a promotional trip to New York, where they talked to bankers and capitalists, outlining plans for the formation of corporations and establishment of bond issues necessary for the promotion and construction of the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad from El Paso northward.
Hawkins then suggested that it instead be placed across the street from the superintendent’s office, where a man would think twice before entering a saloon for a drink.

 JR.com: Coleman Hawkins - The Genius Of Coleman Hawkins [Remaster] in Music: Tenor Sax:   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Though Coleman Hawkins is considered the father of jazz tenor saxophone, he was also a curiously contemporary figure who always sounded fresh despite the heavy vibrato and archaic 1-2 downbeat.
Hawkins played with the be-boppers, recorded with Thelonious Monk, composed small unaccompanied tone poems such as "Picasso." Perhaps this sterling session with Oscar Peterson's Trio isn't so avant garde, yet it's still a bold portrait of the artist as an improvising heavyweight in his prime.
Coleman Hawkins was the first great tenor saxophonist, one of those who did the most to establish that instrument's role in jazz.

 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.3, Entry 252, TENNESSEE: Library of Economics and Liberty
The republican convention nominated Alvin Hawkins for governor, and declared that all the debt should be paid; that any proposition from the bondholders for its decrease should be thankfully accepted, and that the democrats were responsible for the failure of the 60-6 plan in 1876.
The result of the election gave the state her first republican governor since Senter, by the following vote: Hawkins, 102,969; Wright, 79,191; Wilson, 57,424; and Edwards, 3,641.
The legislature chosen had fifteen democrats and ten republicans in the senate, and thirty-seven republicans, thirty-six democrats, and one greenbacker in the house; but the nominal representatives of both parties were so divided by the various plans that any agreement seemed impossible.

Dale Hawkins pioneered a tough, menacing, blues-drenched style on his early Chess records like "Suzie Q" and "Tornado" that has endeared him to fans of blues and rock ‘n’ roll the world over.
Alvin, one of the best songwriters of the last 25 years as well as an impeccable guitarist, has always needed a strong, soul-inflected voice to deliver his lyrics and melodies.
Hawkins’ relaxed tone and emotional ring is equally tailor-made for Alvin’s obscurely foggy lyrics that paint a vividly poetic picture.

Chinese opera training may be at the root of Shen Wei's vocabulary, but this Chinese-born choreographer's abstract treatments of Stravinsky and other Western composers are startlingly innovative.
