Our Take

Duke Ellington's "Far East Suite" takes listeners on a musical journey across continents and cultures, blending elements of jazz, orchestral, and traditional Eastern music. This album is like taking a magic carpet ride through a smoky jazz lounge in the heart of Tokyo. The opening track, "Tourist Point of View," sets the tone with its infectious rhythms and lush instrumentation, transporting listeners to a bustling marketplace in the Far East. Ellington's masterful arrangements and intricate melodies are on full display throughout the album, showcasing his unparalleled skill as a composer and bandleader. Tracks like "Blue Pepper (Far East of the Blues)" and "Isfahan" are highlights, blending Eastern scales and rhythms with Ellington's signature swing, creating a sound that is as innovative as it is infectious. The musicianship on display here is nothing short of phenomenal, with each member of the band bringing their own unique flair to the music. Overall, "Far East Suite" is a stunning achievement that highlights Duke Ellington's versatility and creativity as a musician. It's a must-listen for jazz aficionados and casual listeners alike, offering a glimpse into a world where East meets West in the most delightful way possible. So grab a cup of sake and immerse yourself in the exotic sounds of Duke Ellington's "Far East Suite." You won't be disappointed.
