We Say...
Ellington the pianist remembers Jimmy Blanton, the bass wizard who galvanized his 1940 band, in a roomy duo with the formidable Ray Brown; Duke shows off the percussive attack that pointed the way for Monk and Cecil Taylor.

They Say...
For this set of duets, pianist Duke Ellington is teamed up with bassist Ray Brown in performances a bit reminiscent of Duke's work with Jimmy Blanton three decades before. In addition to the four-part "Fragmented Suite for Piano and Bass," the duo plays five standards (including "Pitter Panther Patter" from the Blanton days and three other Ellington-associated tunes). Delightful and often-playful music.
