Our Take

Duke Ellington & His Orchestra's album "Drop Me Off At Harlem 1927-1933" is a delightful journey through the swinging sounds of the jazz age. From the moment you press play, you are transported back in time to the smoky nightclubs of the 1920s, where Ellington's big band sound reigns supreme.

The album kicks off with the infectious "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo", a tune that sets the tone for the rest of the record with its syncopated rhythms and virtuosic solos. As the album progresses, you can't help but be swept away by the sheer talent of Ellington and his bandmates, who effortlessly blend elements of blues, swing, and ragtime into a seamless whole.

Standout tracks include the swaggering "Jubilee Stomp" and the soulful "Black Beauty", both of which showcase Ellington's prowess as a composer and arranger. But it's not just Ellington's musical chops that shine on this album - the performances from his orchestra are tight, polished, and filled with energy.

Overall, "Drop Me Off At Harlem 1927-1933" is a must-listen for any fan of classic jazz. It's a testament to Ellington's enduring legacy as one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, and a reminder of the power of music to transport us to another time and place. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Duke Ellington take you on a trip back in time.
