Music reviews of Ellington Suites
Music Review: Just phenomenal
Rating: 5 Stars
The world is full of people covering Duke Ellington's music. Especially since Wynton Marsalis, David Berger and "Essentially Ellington" have turned the whole thing into an industry - and I really don't mean that as negatively as it sounds! But most covers of Ellington are really pale imitations - no pun intended, really not! So why is THIS disc so great? I know nothing about these people; I ran into this disc by chance.But this is everything a reinterpretation of Ellington's music should be: loving, respectful, innovative...not making "putting one's own stamp on it" the highest priority, but also not making "recreation" the be-all to end-all either. Woodwind Quintet? You've got to be joking! WHY is this disc not a dismal failure, but rather a near - total triumph??? And how brilliant is it to cover Late Suites, rather than the usual warmed - over choices that made such potentially great records as the World Saxophone Quartet's Ellington disc so disappointing. These guys really get the nuances of phrasing and rhythm of '60's Ellington, something which seems to be impossible for all too many World Famous American Jazz Musicians. Why? How? I have goose bumps on my skin and tears welling up in my eyes when I listen to these performances. Ellington's music will live on - not just on old recordings, not just in Garfield High School, but all over the world, in all kinds of settings - even in such unpredictable ones as these.
