    Reviews :

    "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." AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow.

    "From that spectacular opening, Brown became one of the most reliable and sought-after bassists in jazz, a rock-solid accompanist to instrumentalists and vocalists alike. Ella Fitzgerald was a bit of both, particularly when she scatted, so it seemed quite natural that she and Brown cemented their musical partnership in marriage in 1948, though it only lasted four years." Washington Post Review by Richard Harrington.
