Lovers of jazz, the Duke and the Count - Here’s a chance to consider which musician reign supreme. My verdict? Too close to call...but I give the album 4 stars.

Side One
1. Battle Royal
2. To You
3. Take The “A” Train
4. Until I Met You
Side Two
1. Wild Man
2. Segue in C
3. BDB
4. Jumpin’At The Woodside

I love both Duke and Count. But Basie always wins in the end. Ellington has a fine style, cerebral and smooth. Basie, though, makes his music jump. Not to say Basie lacks sophistication. He blends the two very well.
Well done! A first class record. Thank you.
Steve and Lugworm (may I have your name please...or even initials, I feel funny calling you Lugworm!)....you are both welcome. Hope you like OST and 60's (I know you do Steve)...Good morning Vietnam coming up next!

I am listening to The Ventures at the moment. An LP called The Very Best Of The Ventures. These guys are great. If you have it, you should put it on your blog. Your fans will love it.
No Steve, I don't. Care to share, please????
