by Duke Ellington

This double CD reissues a Solid State double LP that ranks as one of Duke Ellington's finest recordings of his final decade.

American Song

American Song (2004) more music like this

by Andy Bey

The legendary singer's connections to the golden age of bebop -- he performed from the '50s on with legends like Horace Silver, Eddie Harris, Max Roach, and McCoy Tyner -- definitely inform his subtle, low-key approach to the easy-breathing, sensitive arrangements of numerous classics here. The sticker on the album reminds listeners that he was ...

Homage to Duke (1993) more music like this

by Dave Grusin

Although Dave Grusin is best known as a soundtrack composer and for his jazz-pop recordings, he has always had a great admiration for jazz. This CD (released in a fairly deluxe package) gave Grusin an opportunity to pay tribute to Duke Ellington. He performs ten mostly familiar songs associated with Ellington and wisely features fluegelhornist ...

Exclusively for My Friends [Box Set] (1963) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Oscar Peterson has stated that he feels his MPS recordings are his finest. That is quite a statement considering the huge amount of records that the pianist has produced through the past 50 years. This four-CD set reissues the music from six of his MPS LPs: Action, Girl Talk, The Way I Really Play, My Favorite Instrument, Mellow Mood, and Travelin ...

The Great Paris Concert [Atlantic]

The Great Paris Concert [Atlantic] (1963) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

This set came about, in part, as a result of Ellington's signing to Frank Sinatra's Reprise label in November 1962, with the ending of his exclusive contract to Columbia. Six numbers from the three Paris dates were initially edited and released by Reprise as part of the ten-song Duke Ellington's Greatest Hits, but the bulk of the performances from ...

The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony]

The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony] (2005) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

The Essential Duke Ellington, a two-CD set, differs from previous Columbia/Legacy Duke Ellington reissues in that the music is drawn not only from Sony's vaults but from BMG's vaults, too. Four selections are from the 1920s, 20 date from the 1930s, seven are from the 1940s, and the final six were recorded between 1950 and 1960. Is this an ...

Mood Ingenuo: Pixinguinha Meets Duke Ellington

Mood Ingenuo: Pixinguinha Meets Duke Ellington (1999) more music like this

by Paulo Moura & Cliff Korman

Many of the seemingly dozens of "Ellington Meets..." albums out there are specious, cynical attempts to cash in on the Duke's good name. This is not one of them. Pianist Cliff Korman and alto saxophonist Paulo Moura are savvy interpreters of Ellington's coolly sophisticated tunes, and the decision to pair them with those of Brazilian composer ...

The Greatest Jazz Concert in the World (1975) more music like this

by Duke Ellington/Ella Fitzgerald/Oscar Peterson

W/ Ella Fitzgerald & Coleman Hawkins. A fine three-record set. The title is pretentious, but the album does offer plenty of great music and a cross-section of swing, mainstream, and blues. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's (1966) more music like this

by Blossom Dearie

From the audience's reaction, Blossom Dearie held London in the palm of her hand during her stand at Ronnie Scott's. They clapped and shouted and, sometimes, to the surprised joy of Dearie herself, sang along. The ten-track set, recorded with Dearie on piano and vocals with drummer Johnny Butts and bassist Jeff Clyne, alternates between comic ...

Oscar Peterson Plays Duke Ellington [Compilation] (1999) more music like this

by Oscar Peterson

Duke Ellington's music has long excited Oscar Peterson. So when Pablo, in 1999, decided to assemble a collection of Peterson's interpretations of Ellington favorites, the label had a lot to choose from. Spanning 1967-1986, this collection of Norman Granz-produced Pablo sides reminds us how rewarding a combination Peterson's pianism and the Duke's ...

The Soul of Ben Webster/Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You/Blues a Plenty (1995) more music like this

by Ben Webster/Harry Edison/Johnny Hodges

Although tenor saxophonist Ben Webster gets top billing, this two-CD set actually contains an LP apiece by Webster, trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison, and altoist Johnny Hodges. Webster is on all of the recordings, but really only stars on the first date, a septet outing with trumpeter Art Farmer and fellow tenor Harold Ashby. The great tenor is at ...

The Very Best of the Duke Ellington Song Book (2007) more music like this

For jazz fans, Ella Fitzgerald's Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book is by far the best in her Song Book series. With the cooperation of Ellington himself plus his orchestra, the set turned into one of the most fabulous jazz dates in history, with extended versions of numerous standards -- "Take the "A' Train," "Sophisticated Lady," "Don't Get ...

16 Most Requested Songs (1994) more music like this

by Duke Ellington

An entertaining overview of some of Duke Ellington's most popular material, 16 Most Requested Songs has some fine music, but it is too incomplete to even be a thorough introduction to his career. Nevertheless, it's an entertaining sampler. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Jamey Aebersold's Music of Duke Ellington is essentially a Music Minus One package suitable for any musical instrument including of course the human voice.

Runnin' Wild (1973) more music like this

by Teddy Wilson

Black Lion has reissued several Teddy Wilson sessions on CD, but this one is by far the most exciting. Recorded live at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, Wilson plays some surprisingly extroverted solos, even starting "One O'Clock Jump" off with some torrid boogie-woogie. The majority of the standards are taken at faster than usual paces with ...
