5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, January 15, 2001

This is a fantastic album, and Dee Dee really shines on it. Ellington tunes seem to fit perfectly to her style. She is featured mainly on the first part of the album, while the later part is instrumental. Dee Dee and Cyrus are also a great match, which they show case on several tracks, most obviously "I'm beginning to see the light". I highly recommend this album, which stayed in my cd-player for a long, long time.

I had no idea what to expect when I ordered this album. I just knew I love The Duke and Dee Dee Bridgewater is incredible also.

Well this is Dee Dee and orchestra bringing you Duke Ellington like you have never heard ...

It's no insult in her interpretation either. This is very good.

If you have heard Dee Dee well that's a good reason to hear this, if you have not heard Dee Dee, Shame on you !! Go to your room. Sneak onto Amazon and buy one of her CD's and you will be hooked

She is great...Now mix in a dude named Ellington and you have Classic Blues...

So it's a keeper
