Funny you should mention Hawkins and Webster and tone. For me, these two - more than anyone else - epitomize the beauty of tone. Any genre, any instrument, I'd place Hawkins and Webster #1 and #2. Obviously, that's merely a personal preference, but it does - I think - speak to the essence of this thread.
It occurred to me recently, that my Hawkins and Webster LPs may not contain THE MOST IMPRESSIVE music that I own, but they do contain the music that best justifies my excessive investment in a stereo system.
