Format:Audio CD
This edition has too small liner notes (my eyesight is fine, thankyouverymuch, but still...) and the package is far from luxurious,
but this is desert island material...
Beautiful collaboration of two giants (and their collaborators); Duke is the composer of most of the material (Billy Strayhorn and Coltrane are composer of one song each) and this is probably more suitable for Duke fans (such as myself) than for hardcore late-Coltrane fans.
But, if you like Coltrane's My favorite things album, or his album with Johnny Hartman, you'll feel quite at home with this beauty.
Since the music is so simply but subtly beautiful, I don't need luxurious packaging to enjoy this (although I wouldn't mind it).
So - 5 stars for the music, the rest - I don't care about.

Format:Audio CD
One of the joys of the best jazz music is hearing great artists playing off each other. These two giants complement each other perfectly here. Coltrane's lyricism floats over Ellington's delicately textured piano playing to beautiful effect, especially in In A Sentimental Mood. An essential purchase for lovers of Trane and the Duke alike.

Two Greats
This album, although short in duration, presents a great collaboration of two superb artists. Classic tunes are given a slightly new twist.

Some Moments of Brilliance
This 1962 collaboration between two of the all-time jazz greats provides some great moments, but, for me, probably does not quite reach the heights that it might have done, based... Read more

Smooth smooth jazz
An old recording but such genuine smooth modern jazz that it more than stands the test of time and can still be called modern. Read more

Superb
Just one of the definitive Jazz albums of the world. It just makes you want to kick of your shoes, open some wine, get comfy and just let the music take you away.
