The result is a session that overflows with creative chemistry and timeless sophistication.
This remastered edition spotlights the spirited interplay of the supporting musicians, including Sam Woodyard’s dynamic drumming and Harry Carney’s resonant baritone sax. With critical acclaim placing it among the great works of both Ellington and Hawkins, Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins delivers richly textured performances and enduring jazz artistry that make it an essential listen for fans of the genre.
