Description
Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington "The Great Reunion" 200 Gram VINYL LP Clarity Set. Three 12 inch, Single Sided 45rpm Records. BOX SET OUT OF Print & Extremely Collectable.
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 10 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 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. For the first time on 45rpm on Classic Records Clarity SV-P II 200g Vinyl as a Three Disc Box Set.
