I'm a big fan of the record Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins. Hawk's almost full-track solo on Mood Indigo is one of the greatest four minutes of tenor playing ever recorded (in my totally biased opinion), and his horn is prominent throughout the session. Plus you get the DE orchestra still playing about as well as it ever did. It's a Rudy Van Gelder recording, so the piano sounds a little truncated, but on the whole the recording quality is excellent.
