This is a record that was put out in '62. It represents an aging Duke Ellington coming to the end of his career and a John Coltrane right in the middle of his prime. It is one of the better collaborations that I have heard. Its a really smooth record, really easy to listen to. If you aren't that familiar with jazz and want to get into it, this is a great first record and will definitely turn you on to the genre. The Album features Duke Ellington on the piano and John Coltrane on the tenor sax. Sam Woodyard and Elvis Jones split the role of drummer, each taking a half of the record and the same goes for Jimmy Garrison and Aaron Bell on the bass.
