Louis Armstrong | The Complete Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington Sessions | Album

The Complete Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington Sessions (reissued as The Great Summit) is an essential, masterfully completed document of the only time these two foundational titans of jazz recorded together in a studio. Recorded over two intense sessions in April 1961 by producer Bob Thiele, the collection brings together Duke Ellington’s timeless compositions and Louis Armstrong's definitive phrasing and vocals, backed by Armstrong's working sextet, the All-Stars.
