You could change "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" to ""Duke Ellington ; John Coltrane" with ";" as a configured separator, so that this album is associated with both those artists. For the second you could try making "Duke Ellington" the Artist on all tracks and having "Duke Ellington Quartet" as the Album Artist - not sure if that will work but worth a try. Even unedited I would expect both to be recognised as similar artists though.
