Released in 1963, the titanic Duke Ellington & John Coltrane is a must-have historical document that captures the only meeting between the greatest figure in all of jazz history and one of the most significant revolutionary figures of the 1960s and beyond.
Ellington sets the mood and both soloists complement each other brilliantly throughout. The legendary session is both warm and exciting and offers up plenty of surprises for fans of both Ellington and Coltrane, particularly in terms of texture, tenderness, and cohesiveness.
