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.

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



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.
