Review

W/ Ben Webster. These aren't encounters in the confrontational sense, but a merger of great musical minds. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Extended Article

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.
