    INDEX 01 00:00:00

Sounds like a match made in Heaven, and it is. But the poor sound is hard to get past, and it is such a shame. This "live" radio session is nearly 50 years old, so I guess the sound quality is forgiveable. This album alternates bewteen performances by Duke Ellington and his orchestra, and Duke Ellington with Della Reese on vocals. None of these two needs any introductions, and they pull together a fine show with many classics associated with both of them. Duke performs his signature hits "Take the A Train" and "Mood Indigo", and Della performs her million-seller hits "And That Reminds Me" and "Don't You Know". Together they make magic, and I am grateful that this magical moment have been preserved. A small complaint is the radio host Martin Block. He may have been popular in the States, but I find him to be annoying and somewhat rude to both Duke and Della. But, if you can get past these small quibbles, this set should satisfy anyone who have given up on today's music scene, and are longing for a time when and where music meant something.
Highlights: "Don't You Know", "Chopin's Etude in E", "And That Reminds Me" and "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey".
