Piano In The Background 180gr LP

Duke Ellington (p); Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Russell Procope (sax); Ray Nance, Willie Cook (tp); Lawrence Brown, 'Booty' Wood (tb); Aaron Bell (b); Sam Woodyard (dr); a.o.

Big band fans, take note! These nine numbers, in
precisely this version, belong in every
collection. We are talking about the year 1960,
and the 17 musicians involved have probably
performed this very repertoire every night in a
different venue all over the globe. But in the
studio it all sounds fresh and new, well practised
but never dull, cool, groovy and intoxicating.
The difference to a great number of other
Ellington LPs is that here not a single wind
soloist stands in the foreground but the whole
body of musicians. The arrangements are all new
and some of them are even quite unusual, but Sam
Woodyard on the drums has everything well under
control - sometimes not at all 'Ellington-like'.
Snapping the fingers is automatic, and tapping
your foot is also not to be frowned on; however
this recording demands careful listening! If you
have the first version of these numbers in your
collection then it would be a good idea to compare
them with this recording. The Duke Ellington
Orchestra remains young, dynamic and varied thanks
to a continually changing ensemble. And the
'Piano Man', as the best 'pause-filling' pianist
ironically called himself, sat full of vigour
before the 88 keys of the keyboard at the age of
60.
Not only jazz fans will be saying a big thank you
that this recording - made in the early days of
stereophony - is available once again on virgin
vinyl with superb sound.

This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure
analogue components only, from the master tapes
through to the cutting head. All royalties and
mechanical rights have been paid.
