Duke Ellington & John Coltrane

Description:

[Impulse The Masterworks on Hi-Res CD" series commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Impulse label] Ellington is respected as a bandleader and composer. On the other hand, Coltrane is a fast-rising star. This album is a once-in-a-lifetime session between these two great musicians of different generations. All the songs are from Ellington's side except one. Coltrane's restrained performance of the sentimental "In a Sentimental Mood" is heartbreaking. The rapid-fire "Take the Train" was written for Coltrane. Recorded in New Jersey on September 26, 1962. ●DSD master from 2020 based on the original domestic analog tapes, converted to 352.8 kHz/24 bit. Duke Ellington (p), Jimmy Garrison, Aaron Bell (b), Elvin Jones, Sam Woodard (ds)
