Music reviews of Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (Reis) (Dig)Music Review: The emperor's new clothes
This is a fine John Coltrane performance in his lyrical 'My Favorite Things' mode, but 'Duke Ellington and John Coltrane' is distressingly lacking in Ellingtonian feeling considering that the Duke himself was sitting in the piano chair. There's only a couple of moments, particularly when he's playing within the comfort zone of his own rhythm section, that Ellington moves beyond minimum comping. Such moments come on the justifiably acclaimed performances here of "In a Sentimental Mood" and "My Little Black Book". Trane also has a showcase for his more intense style of playing on "Take the Coltrane". But the remainder of this brief album is wan and forgettable. If these two names weren't on the cover, I'd never give this more than a couple of listens. As it is, I've been coming back to this album repeatedly for 20 years now, and I am always struck by how merely pleasant it is. The cover art is strangely apt: two musical giants who, when together, don't quite fill up the space.
