The Cosmic Scene 180gr LP

Paul Gonsalves (ts); Clark Terry (flh); Britt Woodman, John Sanders, Quentin Jackson (tb); Jimmy Hamilton (cl); Duke Ellington (p); Jimmy Wood (b); Sam Woodyard (dr)

Still riding the success of his triumphant concert
at the 1956 Newport Jazz Festival, Duke Ellington
in 1958 decided to reduce his touring orchestra
to a nonet dubbed 'the Spacemen', and recorded
this lone project with them for the Columbia
label. Perhaps inspired by the first orbiting
satellites, Ellington is not taking cues from
George Russell or Sun Ra, whose extraterrestrial
inspirations led them to even more progressive
paths. This large ensemble is playing mostly
standards, but the arrangements and solos carve an
integrated yet elasticized concept that allows
for a more expanded role for the ensemble's
trombonists Quentin 'Butter' Jackson, John
Sanders, and Britt Woodman, and select soloists.
One in the solo spotlight is Clark Terry on
flugelhorn exclusively, putting his fabled trumpet
aside. The classic material presented includes
clarinetist Jimmy Hamilton's features 'Avalon' and
'Early Autumn', the slinky stripper pole blues
version of 'St. Louis Blues' with Ellington's
piano taking the lead, and a version of 'Body &
Soul', with tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves
completely extrapolating and re-harmonizing the
tune. There's a modified 'Perdido', an animated
and perky 'Midnight Sun' that deviates from any
other slow and lugubrious version of the ballad,
and 'Jones' a real good swinger. There are two
originals; the blues bass of Jimmy Woode and the
'bones with plentiful piano from Duke infusing
'Bass-Ment', and one of the more delightful of all
of Ellington's book, the poppin' and boppin'
'Spacemen', a bright happy horn chart led by Terry
that is one of the more distinctive Ellington
numbers of this time period. It comes highly
recommended.
