Music reviews of Essential Duke Ellington
Music Review: BEWARE: SIMULATED STEREO!!!
Rating: 2 Stars
More odd remastering tricks that died in 1962. What is wrong with these people?!! This music is supposed to be monaural, bright and punchy with deep bass. Yes, there is surface noise. However, if re-mastered properly, there is also great music. This is over filtered and processed, and it sounds like rubbish. As Louis Jordan said, "BEWARE".
I own the original 78s and if people could here what these records are supposed to sound like, they would angry with remasters like this.
Description of Essential Duke Ellington
Duke Ellington recorded for so many labels and went through so many stylistic phases, any attempt to boil down his "essence" will inevitably come up short. So it goes with this two-disc collection. While containing a wealth of gems from Columbia's huge Duke catalog, as well as some early efforts for Brunswick, it does not represent such defining works as the late-'30s/early-'40s songs gathered on RCA's Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band and The Far East Suite, Prestige's Carnegie Hall Concerts, January 1943, Blue Note's supertrio album Money Jungle, and Fantasy's The Afro-Eurasian Eclipse. That said, this 37-song set offers a great ride through the ages, powered by such classics as "Black and Tan Fantasy," "Creole Love Call," "Caravan," "Mood Indigo," "Cotton Tail" and "Come Sunday" featuring such immortal soloists as Johnny Hodges, Harry Carney, Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart and the never-to-be-underrated Ellington. Even after all this time, the transcendent genius of "Ko-Ko" still manages to spin you around the room in delight. --Lloyd SachsMusic Genres
