Biography

One of the most important and influential jazz musicians of the 20th Century, Edward "Duke" Ellington led a band from the early 1920s until his death in 1974. He composed new material relentlessly, specifically writing to get the best out of his band members. In the late 20s his band earned a residency at Harlem's Cotton Club, which brought nationwide fame to Ellington, as their performances were… Read more in Amazon's Duke Ellington Store

Editorial Reviews

2009 collection. The great Duke Ellington only rarely recorded in a trio format. This release compiles all of his trio recordings from 1953 to 1957 (three tunes, in fact, are piano-bass duets on which the bass only accompanies Ellington's piano). As a bonus, we have added an extended 1966 solo piano version of 'New World A-Comin'' and an extremely rare solo piano version of 'Mood Indigo'. Lonehill. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If you work your way over to Ellington's "Piano Reflections" album, you'll see that I gave it a rave review some years ago. This imported collection includes everything from that album, plus another ten tracks of trio/duo/solo recordings. Not all of this added material is quite as blindingly brilliant as those 1953 sessions... but some of it is, and none of it is "bad". For just a couple of bucks more, it's definitely worth having. (It's certainly hard to argue with a 79-minute CD in terms of value!)

Essentially, this disc is one-stop shopping to demonstrate that Ellington the piano stylist was just as brilliant as Ellington the composer, Ellington the bandleader, and Ellington the icon.
