Duke Ellington & Coleman Hawkins: Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins (Vinyl LP)

Usually ships in 3-6 business days

(2-LP set)(45-RPM) Collaborative albums such as this one have always been something of a stunt on the part of the record label, with the artists themselves usually stuck with too little time to work out something that would easily act as a functional compromise. Many of these albums, then, have faded away with time. Impulse, however, had more than it's share of solid collaborations. This one is a lot of fun, whether it's the daffy cut-up of Limbo Jazz or the slow New Orleans smoke of Wanderlust. All present turn in nice performances on this set of Ellington numbers.
