Music reviews of The Duke's Big Four (XRCD)
Music Review: glorious !
Rating: 5 Stars
I first heard this in Japan on CD and was smitten by the music, performance and sheer quality of all three, or should I say four... because four of the best are here on this album, Duke Ellington, Joe Pass, Ray Brown and Louie Bellson. The first track, 'Cotton Tail' did it for me, I was hooked and you will be too. If you like music and appreciate music making of the highest order, this is for you. It's obvious these guys are having a great time, but if you want to move up a gear, check out this version on XRCD. Not only do you get the feel of the original release, original artwork, beautiful presentation and nice touches like the protective disc sleeve inside, you get the best audio quality to boot. If anybody out there thinks CD is on the way out, listen to this and enjoy the satisfied grin you will wear. If only I could have heard this live, never mind at least i have this in my collection now.....glorious.
