5.0 out of 5 stars Very excellent Ellington, October 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cornell University: Second Set (Audio CD)

This is a title that any serious jazz collector must own. Ellington's commentary before certain songs creates a total concert experience, as you can understand Ellington as a performer, not just a musician. The music is terrific, and the solos, as always, are virtuoso. Buy the first set, and buy this one!!

Pretty good sound considering this is a live concert from 1948. This was a 19 piece band. How did these guys make money? Anyhow, just like today's artists, these guys must have hated to play the same old hits too because the second to last song is an 8 minute medley with 9 hit songs. The liner notes say "As always, the unhip in the audience indulge in self-congratulatory applause as they recognize familiar melodies"
