Duke Ellington & John Coltrane is a jazz album by Duke Ellington and John Coltrane
recorded on September 26, 1962, and released in February 1963 on Impulse! Records.
[5]

It was one of Ellington's many collaborations in the early 1960s with musicians
such as Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Max Roach, and Charles
Mingus, and placed him with a quartet (in this case, saxophone, piano, bass, and
drums), rather than a big band.[6] The quartet was filled out by the bassist and
drummer from either of their bands. The album featured Ellington standards (e.g.,
"In a Sentimental Mood"), new Ellington compositions, and a new Coltrane
composition ("Big Nick").[7]

Coltrane said:

I was really honored to have the opportunity of working with Duke. It was a
wonderful experience. He has set standards I haven't caught up with yet. I would
have liked to have worked over all those numbers again, but then I guess the
performances wouldn't have had the same spontaneity. And they mightn't have been
any better![8]
