Our Take

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, two legends of jazz, come together on this album for a truly unforgettable musical experience. "LOUIS & DUKE Together For The First Time" is a delightful collision of their respective styles, resulting in a fusion of swing, bebop, and blues that is nothing short of magical.

From the moment the first notes of "Duke's Place" hit your ears, you know you're in for a treat. Armstrong's gravelly voice and Ellington's smooth piano playing complement each other perfectly, creating a dynamic sound that is both familiar and fresh. The chemistry between these two giants of jazz is undeniable, as they effortlessly trade solos and play off each other's energy.

Tracks like "I'm Beginning To See The Light" and "Azalea" showcase the virtuosity of both musicians, with Armstrong's scatting and Ellington's intricate arrangements taking center stage. The album is a masterclass in musicality, with each note and phrase carefully crafted to perfection.

While "LOUIS & DUKE Together For The First Time" may not reinvent the wheel, it is a delightful reminder of why Armstrong and Ellington are considered two of the greatest musicians of all time. This album is a must-listen for any fan of jazz, and a testament to the enduring power of music to bring people together.
