Hybrid Stereo SACD!
Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound!
From Hawkins' screaming solo on album opener "Blues for Yolanda," to the saxophone greats' beautiful give and take on the ballads “It Never Entered My Mind” and “Prisoner of Love” to the melodic toe tappers “You'd be So Nice to Come Home To” and “Tangerine,” this 6-song set is warm, lyrical and altogether essential!
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.
Hawkins and Webster play tenor saxophone during this October 16, 1957 session joined by Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis and Alvin Stoller.

Many saxophonists have come close, but none have quite equaled the fullness of tone, enveloping spirit, or sense of uncompromised soul that jazz giants Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster produced on their instruments. This 1957 Verve date with Norman Granz behind the boards finds the two tenors matching wits with iconic accompaniment from Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), Oscar Peterson (piano) and Alvin Stoller (drums).From Hawkins' screaming solo on album opener "Blues for Yolanda," to the saxophone greats' beautiful give and take on the ballads “It Never Entered My Mind” and “Prisoner of Love” to the melodic toe tappers “You'd be So Nice to Come Home To” and “Tangerine,” this 6-song set is warm, lyrical and altogether essential!

Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original master tapes to vinyl and PCM. The DSD was sourced from the PCM. George listened to all of the different A/D converters he had before he chose which to use, and he felt the George Massenburg GML 20 bit A/D produced the best and most synergistic sound for the project.
