Our Take

Duke Ellington, the suave maestro of jazz, takes us on a time-travelling journey back to 1948 with his live recording at Cornell University. This album is a tantalizing taste of Ellington's unparalleled talent, showcasing his charismatic stage presence and innovative musical arrangements.

From the moment Ellington's fingers hit the keys, you know you're in for a wild ride. The energy and passion exuding from every note is infectious, leaving you tapping your feet and bopping your head along to the rhythm. It's like being transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of Harlem, surrounded by the legends of the era.

Ellington's band is on fire, each musician displaying their virtuosity with flair and panache. The seamless interplay between the instruments is a sight to behold, with each member adding their own unique flavour to the mix. From the swinging horns to the pulsating drums, every element comes together in perfect harmony.

But it's Ellington himself who steals the show, his charismatic presence commanding the stage with effortless grace. His piano solos are nothing short of mesmerizing, each note dripping with emotion and depth. It's a masterclass in musicality, a testament to Ellington's timeless talent.

In conclusion, Duke Ellington's live performance at Cornell University in 1948 is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, a glimpse into the genius of one of the greatest musicians of all time. Don't miss out on this musical gem – it's pure gold.
