The intimate Ellington
Beskrivning:En åldrad mästare visar att han fortfarande har skaparkraften fullt bevarad i dessa spridda inspelningar från en treårsperiod. Dessutom finns kärnan i hans fantastiska orkester kvar, med musiker som Paul Gonsalves, Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Cootie Williams, Lawrence Brown, Willie Cook, Cat Anderson, Russell Procope m fl. Stanley Dance har skrivit en insiktsfull text i medföljande häfte.
"This Pablo set has odds and ends taken from nine different recording/rehearsal sessions that find Ellington experimenting a bit with instrumentation and personnel, even taking a vocal on the tongue-in-cheek "Moon Maiden." Performances range from a couple of vigorous trio workouts and spots for Wild Bill Davis's organ to a few big-band performances. Even this late in his life, Duke Ellington had a great deal to say musically and his band continued to rank near the top." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)
