Music reviews of Piano Reflections
Music Review: Duke Distilled
Rating: 5 Stars
Even though Duke's primary instrument was his orchestra, he was both an excellent piano player and inspiring accompanist. The latter skill has largely been overlooked as the catalyst enabling Paul Gonsalves to reach virtually unprecedented heights during his marathon solo at "Newport 1956." The former capability has arguably also been underrated, especially when you see in his percussive style and frequent "in-the-cracks" voicings the foundation for the style of the "high priest" of modern jazz, Thelonious Monk. But the two albums that listeners frequently go to for Duke's piano--"Money jungle," with Mingus and Roach, and "Duke Ellington Meets John Coltrane"--are both occasions on which Duke elects to keep his offerings to a minimum and to serve, to a great extent, as a mere icon emblematizing the jazz tradition, from its primitive beginnings to its post-bop modernity.
But to listen to either the Ellington of "Piano in the Foreground," which is a somewhat later Columbia date, or "Piano Reflections," an earlier recording made for Capitol, is to discover Ellington's essence--his orchestra via the microcosm of his piano. Of the two recordings, "Piano Reflections" is more exclusively focused on Duke's pianistic abilities (as opposed to the orchestral colors he was capable of extracting from the piano). There are perhaps half a dozen recordings of Duke playing "Dancers in Love" but none better than the version here, which also happens to be the shortest (under two minutes) of the available recordings of the tune.
