Music reviews of Duke's Big 4
Music Review: feel-good jazz
Rating: 4 Stars
This was the first jazz album I ever really listened to, and I loved it. I didn't know much about jazz, but I knew that this music made me feel good. I also knew that Duke was pretty old. This record was made in 1973, and I had other records made by Duke in the '20s and '30s. His age does nothing to slow him down or make him boring, in fact the group can be quite exciting at times with Ellington pushing them along. But overall, I would say the record is relaxing, every song is good. Ray Brown is considered by many one of the most important bass players, and one of the best. Joe Pass's solo albums speak for themselves, simply titled Virtuoso, and he displays his virtuosic talent beautifully on all 7 tracks. Louis Bellson scats his way through his drum solos, pushing the tempo and always reacting with perfection. Duke Ellington might be jazz's most significant composer, he was also a true leader and performer. If you like feel-good music, you will like this album.
