2022 AUDIOPHILE REISSUE via THE VERVE ACOUSTIC SOUNDS SERIES. 180g BLACK VINYL LP, MASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL ANALOG TAPES AND MANUFACTURED AT QUALITY RECORD PRESSINGS.
"Even though Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins had both been well-known jazzmen since the early 1920s, it wasn't until 1962 - at least 20 years after Duke first suggested it - that these two recorded their only session together. High points include an exuberant "The Jeep Is Jumpin'," an interesting remake of "Mood Indigo," and a few new Ellington pieces. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes."
