Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Probably the most treasured of my Ellington recordings, this is the weapon I throw on when converting ears more accustomed to fifties and sixties era jazz artists. Although fronting a big band (or THE big band), the genius of Ellington and Strayhorn's arrangements sound completely modern. Soloists stand out on every track, from Hodges sublime sax showcase on 'Isfahan" to Ellington's under-rated piano on "Ad Lib on Nippon." Every listening uncovers something new and when you're talking about a highlight of Ellington's catalog, you're talking about a highlight of the history of recorded music. Essential; children should have this cd slipped into their cradles in every hospital in the world.
