Armstrong, Louis & Duke Ellington - The Great Reunion

NEW VINYL LP ON WAX TIME 2012

180 GRAM VINYL.

Louis Armstrong was the first jazz superstar, a trumpeter, singer, and occasional actor who became a global American icon. Duke Ellington didn¡¯t lead the most popular orchestra of the Swing era, but he led one of the most creative, and his popularity--and creativity--far outlasted the days of the big bands. In 1961, the Duke sat in with Armstrong¡¯s band, and the two got down to some serious good-time nostalgia. The session is a relaxed yet spirited one, with the leaders alternating between each other¡¯s best-known songs. One of the best things about this configuration is the sound of the Duke¡¯s piano--an underrated pianist, he seldom recorded in such an intimate context.? http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong
