Duke Ellington, John Coltrane: Duke Ellington & John Coltrane

Impulse!, 1963 This inspired intergenerational meeting of minds brings together an undisputed legend of jazz with the saxophonist then considered the vanguard of the avant-garde; and it works magnificently. On Ellington evergreens such as ‚ "In a Sentimental mood" and "Billy Strayhorn" ‚"My Little Brown Book", Coltrane effortlessly matches Ellington's graceful poise while, on Ellington's upbeat ‚"Take The Coltrane" the saxophonist gets to stretch out with propulsive backing from his regular rhythm section of bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. Coltrane's only compositional contribution, the dainty ‚"Big Nick" coaxes a solo of delightful economy and charm from the elder maestro. Everyone shines. Tracklist & Credits - LP Tracklist1.
