Description
It’s quite astonishing but true: it took 20 years for “Hawk” and “The Duke” to get together in the recording studio. The Ellington septet provides a rich carpet of sound for the full tone of the tenor sax and gives “The Bean” (as Coleman Hawkins was also called) all the room in the world for his lengthy improvisations. Hawkins finds his way with surprising ease in Ellington’s world and such hits as Mood Indigo and The Jeep Is Jumpin’ demonstrate to the full the amazing class of the ensemble and soloists.
