│ Album Notes: ││
│ ││
│ Includes previously unreleased radio broadcasts This release ││
│ includes a bonus DVD featuring soundies and short subject ││
│ Duke Ellington films. Personnel: Duke Ellington (piano); ││
│ Ivie Anderson (vocals); Johnny Hodges (clarinet, alto ││
│ saxophone); Barney Bigard (clarinet, tenor saxophone); Ben ││
│ Webster (tenor saxophone); Cootie Williams, Ray Nance ││
│ (trumpet); Juan Tizol (trombone); Jimmie Blanton (bass ││
│ instrument); Sonny Greer (drums). Liner Note Author: Steven ││
│ Lasker. Recording information: 1927 - 1942. Arranger: Billy ││
│ Strayhorn. Compiling one disc to represent the work of Duke ││
│ Ellington--a giant of American music whose oeuvre spans more ││
│ than 50 years--is no small task. But THE CENTENNIAL ││
│ COLLECTION manages nicely by concentrating on Duke's RCA ││
│ Victor period, a fertile era (spanning the late 1920s to the ││
│ early '40s) that featured one of his finest bands. Selected ││
│ from the titanic, 24-disc box THE DUKE ELLINGTON CENTENNIAL ││
│ EDITION, this scaled-down sampler features 13 well-loved ││
│ mini-masterpieces and seven previously unreleased tracks. In ││
│ the former category are such delectable slices of ││
│ Ellingtonia as "Black and Tan Fantasy" and "The Mooch." In ││
│ the latter are lesser known, though no less fetching, tracks ││
│ like "Sepia Panorama," featuring sharp arrangements by ││
│ then-newcomer Billy Strayhorn. Solo turns by baritone ││
│ saxophonist Harry Carney ("East St. Louis Toodle-O"), alto ││
│ saxophonist Johnny Hodges ("In a Mellow Tone"), clarinetist ││
│ Barney Bigard ("Mood Indigo," a timeless tune he co-wrote ││
│ with Duke), and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster ("Ko-Ko") ││
│ prove the indisputable superiority of Duke's '30s and ││
│ early-'40s bands. A bonus DVD of motion-picture outtakes and ││
│ interview footage is rich icing on the already-tasty cake. ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ Artist Overview: ││
│ ││
│ Duke Ellington's gift for combining blues simplicity, gospel ││
│ emotion, and sophisticated musical themes reflected a unique ││
│ style that drew fans around the world. From the 1920s to the ││
│ 1970s, he created a huge body of work that ranks among the ││
│ greatest contributions to American music. As a pianist, ││
│ composer, and bandleader, Ellington covered a vast expanse, ││
│ from solo recordings to orchestral works, from novelty songs ││
│ to extended suites, from the sacred to the not-so-sacred. As ││
│ Miles Davis once said, "All musicians should get down on ││
│ their knees one day to thank Duke Ellington." ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ ││
│ If you like this release go out and buy it. ││
