This concert release pairs two legendary jazz collaborations into a single performance film. It begins with Norman Granz's third music documentary: Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald, performing live at the Côte d'Azur in the south of France, on such numbers as "Such Sweet Thunder" (the Duke Ellington Band), "The Shepherd" (the Duke Ellington Trio), and "Satin Doll" (the Duke Ellington Trio). The second concert film in the set, titled Duke: The Last Jam Session, finds Ellington pairing up with Ray Brown and the late Louie Bellson on such numbers as "The Hawk Talks," "Cotton Tail," and "Everything But You."
