The Duke-Strayhorn duets are a very original piano playing, very modernistic at that time. They were issued by the label Mercer, named after Duke's son. Maybe it was a little artisanal... This might explain the poor sound quality. I doubt it can be improved...
Sound quality: listenable but not good. This recording is a dub from an LP; on some tracks you can even hear pops on the record surface. I'd like to hear this album in a higher fidelity version, because the music is excellent.
