Product Description
Media Reviews and More: Ellington, a bandleader and composer who commanded the respect of those around him. Coltrane, on the other hand, was a rising star with unstoppable momentum. The two were 27 years apart in age. This album is a once-in-a-lifetime session between two giants of different generations. All but one of the tracks are from Ellington's side. Coltrane's restrained playing on the sentimental "In a Sentimental Mood" is deeply moving. The fast-paced "Take the Trane" was written specifically for Coltrane. (C)RS
