Our Take

Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, two jazz titans coming together for "The Great Summit" may sound like a match made in musical heaven, but does this album live up to the hype? Let's find out.

From the moment the needle hits the solid yellow vinyl, you know you're in for a treat. The opening track "Duke's Place" kicks things off with a swingin' groove that'll have you tapping your feet in no time. Armstrong's smooth trumpet playing complements Ellington's piano perfectly, creating a sound that is pure magic.

The chemistry between these two legends is undeniable, with each track showcasing their incredible talent and musicality. Whether it's the upbeat and infectious "I'm Just a Lucky So and So" or the hauntingly beautiful "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)", Armstrong and Ellington shine in every moment.

But it's the bonus track that truly steals the show. "Cotton Tail" sees these two masters going full throttle, with Armstrong's scorching trumpet solos and Ellington's mesmerising piano riffs taking centre stage. It's a high-energy, toe-tapping closer that will leave you wanting more.

Overall, "The Great Summit" is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. With its infectious energy, superb musicianship, and solid yellow vinyl, this album is a true gem that deserves a spot in your collection. So pour yourself a glass of whisky, sit back, and let Louis and Duke take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
