(1998)

by
Jean-Yves Thibaudet
This young, stupendously gifted French classical virtuoso follows up his Bill Evans album with a similar attempt to pull Duke Ellington into the classical repertoire, rushed out just in time for the Ellington centennial. While there are direct transcriptions, this time listeners mostly hear arrangements of tunes prepared by a battery of skilled ...

Perhaps the most beautiful thing about this entry in Verve's Finest Hour series is that it covers 46 years in Ellington's career, from the very beginning of his recording career in 1926, to the very end in 1972. There are brilliant stops along the way with the Blanton/Webster edition of the band, and many of the '30s versions of his classics as ...

Dick Hyman Plays Duke Ellington
(1992)

by
Dick Hyman
Performed (as was Dick Hyman's previous Fats Waller project) on a Bosendorfer Reproducing Piano and actually recorded from the piano at a later date (one really cannot tell the difference), this outing finds the great Hyman interpreting 14 of Duke Ellington's compositions. Most intriguing are Ellington's nearly atonal "The Clothed Woman" and "Tonk ...
