This is one of my all time favorite jazz classics. The combination of these two great musical minds results in an explosive piece filled with talent, and a passion for music. Borrowed from "First Time! The Count Meets the Duke!" I own no audio or pictures found in this video. The music is owned by Columbia music.

  • this is such a coincidence you have the only video on youtube with this song and I saw it yesterday, just when you uploaded (i didn't know until now). this is one of my favorites, too. I was wondering... do you know where there could be scores and charts of this song, I would like to play it with my big band.

  • I'v looked too, and havnt been too successful... One place i havn't checked is the "Essentially Ellington" collection, they might have it. Good luck

  • The hardest swinging big band of all-time (Basie) and the most versatile big band of all-time (Ellington). That's certainly not to say that Duke's band didn't swing like hell. Duke made the fucking Nutcracker swing for god sake! :)

  • My goodness. No words can explain how intense and musical this peice is..

  • It's heavy duty to have both bands together like this.

  • I have this CD and I love it...I love that they included the "takes" of this song it gives you a feel of being there live.

  • The Battle Royal , I have it on a pre recorded tape cassette , A great sound the 2 bands to-gether.

  • One of the all time best jazz albums.

  • I bought this cd way before I was really into jazz. It was and still is one of my favorite albums to listen to.

  • Toute mon enfance a été bercée par ce fabuleux duo

  • CK 65571 Duke Ellington meets Count Basie Columbia Legacy

  • I bought a CD only for that song! It is just... PERFECT! I can't stop hearing it xP
