- “It sits alone in the history of jazz,” Wynton Marsalis says of Duke Ellington’s groundbreaking masterpiece Black, Brown & Beige. Since its 1943 debut at Carnegie Hall, the piece-a sprawling survey of African American history-has been heralded as one of the most significant compositions in American orchestral music. Now, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis is releasing a definitive, present-day recording of Black, Brown & Beige that conveys all the nuances and emotion of Ellington’s grandest work.

Captured during a live, Rose Theater performance in 2018, Black, Brown & Beige's Marsalis’s first recording of the work and Blue Engine’s first release dedicated entirely to Ellington. As Marsalis explains, the piece “covers a mosaic of not just Afro-American but of American styles of music,” and the expert musicians of the JLCO-not to mention special guests Brianna Thomas (vocals) and Eli Bishop (violin)-are perfectly equipped to tackle its stirring stylistic breadth. The JLCO’s spirited take on Ellington’s epic work not only pays tribute to some of the maestro’s most personal work but adds another important chapter to its enduring legacy.

This band sounds so good
This is amazing !
Why did it cut off?
This is a wonderful performance, but I have to say that opening doesn't have nearly the same impact played on toms as it does played on timpani (as heard in the original Carnegie Hall performance)
Someone knows the name of the young director ??
The great Chris Chrenshaw!
