Coleman Hawkins / Ben Webster - Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster (Verve Acoustic Sound Series)

Vinyl LP pressing. As critic Nat Hentoff makes clear, Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster were larger than life. Formidable, even forbidding presences, they revealed a depth of feeling in their playing that spoke of their vast life experiences, as great writers or painters speak through their work. Recorded in 1957.
