Negative Positive
Title: A fun session
Review: But not the best Ellington nor the best Basie. It is a fun session, basically a jam session, with a great remastered sound. Liner notes, as with most Columbia Legacy releases are superb. The original idea for marketing this album was a big battle of the bands, but it really doesnt sound like that at all. These two are without a doubt the best two orchestras of jazz ever, but this meeting did not result in the best jazz orchestra album ever.
Is the review positive or negative?
