Wrapped Tight is an album by American jazz saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, featuring performances recorded in 1965 for the Impulse! label.

Reception

In his review at Allmusic.com, Scott Yanow gave the album 4 stars, stating, "Hawkins's last strong recording finds the veteran, 43 years after his recording debut with Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds, improvising creatively on a wide variety of material... [showing] that the tenor-saxophonist was still coming up with new ideas in 1965".
