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 understatedly behind the vocals), the duo romps through seven of the Duke's most famous and popular compositions. And when Satchmo decides to blow, he 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.

Stunning fidelity and musicianship

Reviewer: Boomer
From an audiophile perspective, this record is THE best sounding recording I own on either LP or CD. OK, my LP selection is old and small, my CD collection is mostly 80's and about 300 disks, but with this album I finally got what I was looking for out of my SET amp: Stunning presence, sound stage and tone.

From a pure music perspective, you just can't get any better that the artistry of these two greats, as well as the other musicians on this recording. I can't wait to go home and listen to this again!

Always phenomenal
