Louis Armstrong Duke Ellington/The Great Reunion, 180 gram 45rpm vinyl 3LP-used

Description

Released as a second volume of recordings by Roulette Records from a 1961 summit between two jazz icons, after hearing this collaboration you'll wish they had recorded ten volumes. And with the musical talent and knowledge between them, they could have!

Using Armstrong's regulars plus Ellington at the piano (who performs exceptionally well, comping understandably behind the vocals), the duo romps through seven of the Duke's most famous and popular compositions. And when Satchmo decides to blow, he leaves the Dixie cliche at home and shapes his solos perfectly into the tasteful arrangements. With Trummy Young on trombone and Barney Bigard on clarinet plus a rhythm section of Mort Herbert on bass and Danny Barcelona on drums, these recordings are a once-in-a-lifetime dream summit meeting that thank God producer Bob Thiele was brilliantly astute enough to arrange and capture on tape.

This "Great Reunion" is now available as for the first time as a part of the CLASSIC CLARITY VINYL 45 RPM SERIES – all pressed on our Super Vinyl Profile II.
