For this classic encounter, the only collaboration ever between Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, Duke sat in with the John Coltrane Quartet for a set dominated by Ellington's songs; some performances have his usual sidemen (bassist Aaron Bell and drummer Sam Woodyard) replacing Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in the group. Ellington always recognised talent, and Coltrane seemed quite happy to be recording with a fellow genius. On 180-gm- complete red LP + 2 bonus tracks and contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide.
