5.0 out of 5 stars
Great arrangement of a classic work!,
By Steven Hom (Oakland, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Far East Suite (Audio CD)
Words cannot really describe this rendition by the Asian American Orchestra. The original was wonderful. In the spirit of Ellington, Anthony Brown and the AAO have taken this piece to the next level. They just didn't perform it, but interpreted this work from their own experiences. Bravo!

This review is from: Far East Suite (Audio CD)
It's hard to describe the way this music builds from Ellington's foundation and adds a layer of interpretations that truly underscores it ability to cross cultures. The Orchestra is a unique gathering of talents -- certainly preofessional and capable in jazz and indigenous instruments. But the performance is infused with a special energy, as we imagine the piece has a special meaning to these artists. The work has that feeling of a personal and summary statement that jazz can bring these seemingly disparate musical traditions together. Get the CD, but see them live if you get the chance!
