You remember those crossover episodes of kids shows where one character from a show would meet another character from a different show, like Scooby Doo Meets Batman or The Jetsons Meets the Flintstones? Well, they have those for Jazz albums too. Those episodes were always cool because it was like all your favorites were hanging out in the same place. That’s the same deal here, two of jazz’s greatest balladeers just ballading it out together. From the fantastic version of “Mood Indigo” to the Norm MacDonald-inspiring “You Dirty Dog” there’s plenty here to appreciate for any seasoned fan of the Duke and the Pres or for any of those just dipping their toes into their respective works.
