  • Description

    Two albums on one CD, Deluxe digipak with 20-page booklet and additional line notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton.

    "The music resulting from this Bob Thiele inspired experiment is outstanding and utterly essential. That means everybody ought to hear this album at least once, and many will want to hear it again and again all the way through, for this is one of the most intriguing confluences in all of recorded jazz. Armstrong blew his horn with authority and sang beautifully and robustly." - A. Arwulf, AllMusic

    Description

    Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington's 'The Great Summit' plus 1 bonus track pressed on limited edition 180g yellow coloured vinyl. Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine.

    "The mere fact of Louis and Duke being in the same room gave off an energy, warm, slightly combative, unrepeatable. In musical terms, this was like looking at Mt Rushmore, with just Washington and Jefferson on show." - Penguin Guide To Jazz

    "It is often said that only mountains can never meet. This saying was proved false the moment in which Louis Armstrong finally managed to record with Duke Ellington." - Jazz Magazine
