The iconic album ‘Duke Ellington & John Coltrane’, 2LP audiophile pressing on 180g premium vinyl.
Presented here both in its Stereo and Mono versions, this album was Duke Ellington and John Coltrane’s only ever recorded encounter. For the occasion, Trane and Duke were accompanied by the bassist and drummer of their respective groups (who alternated from track to track), Aaron Bell and Sam Woodyard (from Duke’s rhythm section), and Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones (from Trane’s rhythm section).
“For this classic encounter, Duke Ellington ‘sat in’ with the John Coltrane Quartet for a set dominated by Ellington’s songs; some performances have his usual sidemen (bassist Aaron Bell and drummer Sam Woodyard) replacing Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in the group. Ellington always recognized talent, and Coltrane seemed quite happy to be recording with a fellow genius.” – Scott Yanow, AllMusic
