About this product
The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl, a Brian Morton 'Number One Essential' Recommendation. Armstrong and Duke Ellington together. Duke and Louis had known each other since the mid- twenties and were booked to play alternately on the same stage many times.

InchThe music resulting from this Bob Thiele (produce)inspired experiment is outstanding and utterly essential. This is one of the most intriguing confluences in all of recorded jazz.

Limited edition 180-gram vinyl LP reissue. Satchmo and The Duke were each in the midst of revitalized careers that were soaring higher than the fame of their youth when they joined forces to record InchThe Great SummitInch in 1961. Each already was an unparalleled legend for nearly 30 years, and it is surprising they hadn't recorded more together. But then their styles were so different. Ellington was the sheer embodiment of sophistication and elegance in jazz. Armstrong was the earthy pulse of the people at large. Each had a ceaseless creativity and vitality that could only be matched by the other. All stylistic differences aside, few musicians on earth have had their sense of swingin' rhythm. This reissue remains a musical feast for the ears as Louie puts his own take on the music as Duke performs his biggest hits! You'll be blown away on InchMood Indigo;Inch InchBlack and Tan Fantasy;Inch InchThe Mooch;Inch InchIn a Mellow Tone;Inch InchIt Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got that Swing)Inch and more. It couldn't possibly sound better than it does on this 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Album Tracks 1. Duke's Place 05 03 2. I'm Just a Lucky So and So 03 09 3. Cottontail 03 42 4. Mood Indigo 03 57 5.
