Prestige Profiles, Vol. 4 contains recycled tracks taken from tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins' stint with Prestige Records in the late '50s and early '60s. This set, aimed at the casual listener, includes the Hawk's renditions of such standards as "Greensleeves," "I'll Get By (As Long as I Have You)," "I'll Never Be the Same," and "Sweetest Sounds."
