Duke Ellington & Count Basie
First time! The Count meets the Duke
Scott Yanow's All Music review awarded the album 4½ stars calling it: A very successful and surprisingly uncrowded encounter. In most selections Ellington and Basie both play piano (their interaction is wonderful) and arrangements. they allowed the stars of both bands to take turns as soloists.
