INCLUDES 5 BONUS TRACKS
Even though Duke Ellington and
Coleman Hawkins had both been well-known jazzmen since the early 1920s
and continued to be successful until their deaths, their only recorded
encounter was the LP "Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins" (Impulse
AS-26), taped in 1962 and presented here in its entirety.
Five additional songs consisting of
Hawkins performing compositions by Duke or from the Ellington bandâs
songbook have been included here as bonus tracks. Among them is the
saxophonistâs rarely heard only existing reading of the beautiful âThe
Star-Crossed Loversâ, from the Ellington-Strayhorn Shakespearean suite
Such Sweet Thunder.
