For Ellington
Beskrivning:Modern Jazz Quartet var en av jazzens mest långlivade konstellationer. Här bringar John Lewis p, Milt Jackson vib, Percy Heath b och Connie Kay dr en hyllning till Duke Ellington. I häftet en text av Leonard Feather.
"This is a tribute album that works quite well. The Modern Jazz Quartet is heard at their best on such Duke Ellington tunes as "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Jack the Bear" and "Ko-Ko." Also quite noteworthy are their two newer pieces, John Lewis's "For Ellington" and Milt Jackson's "Maestro E.K.E." which perfectly capture the spirit of Ellington's music. The ballads sometimes get a little sleepy but on a whole this is a very enjoyable release." (Scott Yanow, allmusic.com)
