I've been listening to the Duke Ellington/ Ray Brown album, This One's For Blanton, and really love Ray's tone, and feel. Definitely inspiring me to get my Strunal set up, and get going on learning to play the darn thing properly.....
Some others that I've been enjoying are the Bill Evans/ Eddie Gomez albums (some withE. Gomez on electric), the Charlie Haden duet albums from the 70s (with Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, etc), and the Hank Jones/ Charlie Haden album of Spirituals.
What are some other duet albums should I be aware of?

I do have the Jim Hall/ Ron Carter disc, and also the Jim Hall/Bill Evans stuff, too. I've been going on a Bill Evans frenzy on emusic.com--you've got to love DSL and well organized, legal mp3s.
I'll have to look into the Michael Moore stuff. I don't think I have much with him other than the BassDay video of his duets with Rufus Reid. |

Don Byas/Slam Stewart "I've got Rythym."
Just one cut on a Smithsonian compilation, but well worth it. |

The two clubs I miss the most are BRADLEY'S and ZINNO'S. they would have the GREATEST duos in the ****ing world, I got to see just about everybody I wanted to at either.... | Zinno's was the scene of the ultimate bass duets: Rufus Reid and Michael Moore filled the place for 4 consecutive Sunday nights. Now that should make every bassist smile.

I just picked up about a dozen Concord CDs for $4 each, including the excellent Maybeck Hall piano/bass duo recordings featuring Roger Kellaway/Red Mitchell (his last recording) and Adam Makowitz/George Mraz.
Each is outstanding, and they capture the sound of the Red's and George's basses beautifully.

the best recent piano/db recording I've heard is Matthew Shipp/William Parker's album DNA on Thirsty Ear. |

I know that Michael was playing without a pickup, nothing but pure bass sound.

but nobody here has mentioned willie dixon/memphis slim. whoo-weee, there's some great music in those four hands. I know Willie Dixon isn't a great bassist, but he's one of the most musical. |
