Duke Ellington is called the King of Swing for a very good reason but for some reason his genius as a great composer is rarely mentioned as often as his undoubted skill as a big band leader. Here in this album we get a collection of what I can only describe as beautiful music and some of the chord changes and musical palettes the Duke paints for us like on the first track "Tourist Point of View" is simply stunning. How someone who is so much more comfortable in the western tradition of music can still churn out great-sounding music in such exotic styles as he does here is simply a testament to the vast composing talent of The Duke and Billy Strayhorn. Fans of this album are in for a real treat here as this mini-lp replica sleeve (mlps) version is very well designed and assembled and the all-important sound quality has been well remastered for a great sound as well on this Dec 2002 release. Tracks like "Depk", "Isfahan" and "Blue Pepper" simply defy description and just have to be experienced to be believed!
This is quite possibly Ellington's finest studio recording and this mlps release certainly does this fine album justice.
