Duke Ellington / Coleman Hawkins - Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Even though Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins had both been well-known jazzmen since the early 1920s, it wasn't until 1962 - at least 20 years after Duke first suggested it - that these two recorded their only session together. High points include an exuberant ""The Jeep Is Jumpin',"" an interesting remake of ""Mood Indigo,"" and a few new Ellington pieces. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes.
