ELLINGTON,DUKE / HAWKINS,COLEMAN - DUKE ELLINGTON MEETS COLEMAN HAWKINS - RECORD

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.
