early classic Watermelon Man right up to the present, and is offered here

SONNY ROLLINS / COLEMAN HAWKINS - TOGETHER AT NEWPORT 1963
This edition presents, for the first time ever, Sonny Rollins'
complete set with guest star Coleman Hawkins at the 1963 Newport Jazz Festival.
Producer George Wein's idea to unite the two tenor sax giants proved to be so
successful that they would record a studio album together later that month. As
a bonus, an unissued quartet set by Rollins taped live at New York's Half Note
five months early. It contains the only collaborative recordings of the
saxophonist with pianist McCoy Tyner with the sole exception of a 1978 album.
This set allows us the rare opportunity to listen to McCoy interact with
another tenor sax giant (the pianist was still a member of the John Coltrane
Quartet at the time). ~ Amazon
