: Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins (Vinyl LP) [ vinyl ]

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket.

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.
