Search - Hawkins, Webster :: Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben

The One Desert Island Disk

"If I only could bring one disk to a desert island, this would be it. I have probably purchased this 5 times in lp or cd format as I have lent it or left it behind.



An awesome album spoiled only by the "bonus tracks" which ruin the flow of the album's otherwise incredible mix. Luckily, they can be removed to leave behind what I would call the best album ever (IMHO)."

My Favorite Recording

"Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster In over forty years of playing, listening, and collecting jazz recordings, Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben Webster is my favorite. "It Never Entered My Mind" is a wonderful example of the contrast between the sound that Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster achieved on the tenor saxophone. It just doesn't come any better than this."
