Our Take

In his latest release, Claude Bolling takes on the timeless classics of Duke Ellington with a playfulness and charm that only he can bring. From the moment the first notes of "Take the 'A' Train" hit your ears, you know you're in for a treat.

Bolling's unique blend of jazz and classical influences is on full display in this album, with each track showcasing his virtuosity on the piano and his undeniable passion for the music of Ellington. Whether he's tackling the upbeat swing of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" or the mellow groove of "Sophisticated Lady," Bolling's performance is nothing short of masterful.

But what truly sets this album apart is Bolling's ability to inject his own personality into the music. His playful improvisations and unexpected twists and turns keep the listener on their toes, making each track a delightful surprise.

Overall, Claude Bolling Plays Ellington is a joyous celebration of one of the greatest composers in jazz history, brought to life by a true musical maestro. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Bolling's infectious energy sweep you off your feet. You won't regret it.
