'Masterpieces By Ellington' shines from an
astonishingly brief period of history that gave
the recording industry two of its greatest
achievements ? the introduction of magnetic tape
recording and the 33 1/3 LP, or long-playing
record.
Four years. That's all it took to go from the
discovery by Americans, of German advancements in
the field of sound recording, to the marketing of
tape decks in the U.S. by the Ampex company, to
Columbia's unveiling of its 12? LP, and the first
long-playing record to be sold to consumers.
The four selections contained here catapulted the
Maestro Ellington into the LP era, as the great
composer/arranger/pianist and his matchless
orchestra took full advantage of the possibilities
afforded by magnetic tape recording and the
still-new 33 1/3 RPM LP to, for the first time,
capture uncut concert arrangements of their
signature songs.
Suddenly, for the first time in his career,
Ellington was able to forgo the 3
minutes-and-change restrictions afforded by the
short running time of the 78 RPM disc. He and his
band rose to the occasion with extended (11-minute
plus) 'uncut concert arrangements' of three of
his signature songs ? 'Mood Indigo?,
'Sophisticated Lady?, with evocative vocals by
Yvonne Lanauze, as well as 'Solitude?.
'Masterpieces' was also notable for the debut of
the full-bodied, surprise-laden 'The Tattooed
Bride?, and for the swansongs of three Ellintonian
giants of longstanding: drummer Sonny Greer,
trombonist Lawrence Brown and alto saxist Johnny
Hodges (the latter two would eventually return to
the fold).
'Masterpieces' is a revelation and a throwback to
a golden recording age. So much history and so
much luck combined make this album truly special.
