"Like the people's people!" I love to hear Duke speak. "No success, but lots of fun." Much too modest, sir, but it is clearly lots of fun. What a great collection of musicians you had to work with! I've owned this for many years after first hearing it before Christmas on the old KKGO in LA. It rewards a listen over and over again. If you don't own it - get it! The CD also has a swinging Peer Gynt. Morning Mood is like a sunrise on safari - stunningly gorgeous.
Wonderful! There is an aspect of Duke in this video that is seldom spoken of...Ellington, the conductor. Every tempo is spot on; every articulation and attack is precise and expressive.
Ellington is pure genius, and this is a treasure. Thanks!
