Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington: The Great Summit/Complete Sessions è un album discografico del 1961 dei musicisti e compositori jazz Duke Ellington e Louis Armstrong. La ristampa in formato CD del 2001 della Blue Note Records non solo contiene le tracce dei due album originali Together for the First Time e The Great Reunion, ma anche un secondo CD con varie versioni alternative. Entrambi impiegarono una band ridotta, i Louis Armstrong's All Stars, e suonarono classici di Ellington come Mood Indigo e Black And Tan Fantasy.
