Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster (CD)

Some of today's saxophonists come close, but none has either the Hawkins-Webster fullness of tone or the enveloping spirit that sounds a strikingly individual identity. Originally recorded in 1957, support musicians on this session include Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Alvin Stoller. As part of Verve's Master Edition series, this CD features meticulous restoration and high-resolution digital transfer, original LP cover art, new liner notes, photos and more in a deluxe, full-color digipak.
