Even though Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins had both been well-known jazzmen since the early 1920s, it wasnt until 1962 at least 20 years after Ellington first suggested it – 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. Verves Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
