Talk:Coleman Hawkins

message: The article reads as follows: 
::Coleman Hawkins was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri. He attended high school in Chicago, then in Topeka, Kansas. He later stated that he studied harmony and composition for two years at Washburn College in Topeka. In his youth he played piano and cello, and started playing sax at age 9; by age 16 he was playing professionally. He joined Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds in 1921 with whom he toured through 1923,
Now, I admit to being confused.  I know he was living in Topeka Kansas during the 1920-1921 school year, because he is pictured (second from the right) in the big photo of the band in the 1921 Sunflower, the THS yearbook.  (link to very small copy of original photo)  Every source says he was born (November 21, 1904.  So, at the start of the 1920-1921 school year, he would have been sixteen years old, and aguably a sophomore.  Perhaps a Jr, but with a November birthdate, unlikely.  Many web sites quote Hawk as saying he studied composition at Washburn, but WHEN?  He started playing in KC in 1921.  Was he commuting the two hours back and forth from KC to Topeka?  Was this a special tutorial for a gifted high school student?    Does anyone have a better source? Rick Boatright 23:59, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I searched the 1920 census records at Ancestry.com (a subscription site) and located Coleman H. Hawkins, a 15-yr-old student, living with William D. and Cordelia Hawkins at 1711 Angelique St. in St. Joseph, MO. Thomas J. and Louise Coleman, probably his grandparents, were at the same address. In the 1910 census, I found Coleman W. Hawkins, 5 years old, at the same address with the same people. I'm aware that census records sometimes lie, but it's interesting that both of these censuses are in agreement with a late-1904 birth date. Now, I must ask -- if he was living in St. Joe in both 1910 and 1920, just when did Hawk live in Chicago or Topeka? DutchmanInDisguise (talk) 04:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
