Our Take

Duke Ellington's Vol. 2 of The Quintessence is a swingin' masterclass in jazz, baby! This album is like a fine wine - it just gets better with age. Ellington's compositions are smooth as silk, with each note caressing your ears like a lover's whisper. The man truly is a musical genius, and this album showcases his talent in all its glory.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you'll be transported to a smoky jazz club in 1920s Harlem. The band swings effortlessly, with each member bringing their A-game to the table. Ellington himself is a force to be reckoned with on the piano, tickling the ivories with finesse and flair.

Tracks like "Mood Indigo" and "Sophisticated Lady" are timeless classics that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. The horn section is on fire, with each blast of the trumpet sending shivers down your spine.

So, grab yourself a martini, slip into something slinky, and let Duke Ellington serenade you into the wee hours of the morning. This album is a must-have for any jazz aficionado, and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of music's true icons. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
