Duke Ellington & John Coltrane was released on Impulse! Records in 1963

Impulse! Records brought together two jazz titans for this 1963 collaboration, and the album captures a fascinating moment of generational interplay. Ellington was the established master, Coltrane the restless innovator, and the session produced gorgeous readings of Ellington compositions like “In a Sentimental Mood” that became instant classics.
