The moment Duke Ellington and Count Basie first met.
This monumental recording marks the first time two giants of big band jazz have met in the studio. The individual personalities of the two bands blend to produce a performance that embodies the best of swing jazz. The tension of their rivalry, combined with their mutual respect, brings a special brilliance to the music. This is a valuable record that will remain in jazz history.
