Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster (LP)

In 1957, two jazz titans of the highest order met in Hollywood to record together: Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster. At that time, the two style-defining tenor saxophonists could already look back on an exemplary career and express their entire, matured sovereignty in their interplay. Instead of getting carried away in a competitive tenor sax battle, they played in harmony with each other. They were supported by the no less brilliant Oscar Peterson Quartet. /// VERVE ACOUSTIC SOUNDS SERIES: mastered entirely in analog by Ryan K.
