“Undoubtedly one of the finest-sounding records I have heard this year, fully confirmed by a whisper-quiet vinyl and an impressively wide dynamic range. The remastering process was carefully handled by Ryan K. Smith, with all the benefits one expects, and—as with all Acoustic Sounds reissues—the pressing was entrusted to Quality Record Pressings; we are facing an extraordinary record in every respect.”
(Straight Talk with Jack Graham, “Best-of” 2023, available on YouTube)
As noted by renowned critic Nat Hentoff, Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster were two visionary artists. Through their compelling and at times intimidating style, these two jazz masters convey a profound emotional depth in their performances, reflecting the richness of their life experiences, much like the great painters and writers of the past expressed themselves through their masterpieces.
Recorded in 1957
