Our Take

With this latest release from the legendary Duke Ellington, it's as if we've stumbled upon a treasure trove of musical genius that has been tucked away for decades. Volume 24 of the Treasury Shows showcases Ellington and his orchestra at the peak of their powers, delivering jazz that is both timeless and ahead of its time.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a world where swing is king and Ellington is the undisputed ruler. The arrangements are lush, the solos are scorching, and the energy is infectious. It's impossible not to tap your foot or sway your hips as the music washes over you.

Standout tracks include the toe-tapping "Take the A Train" and the sultry "Sophisticated Lady", but really, there isn't a dud in the bunch. Each song is a carefully crafted gem that sparkles with Ellington's trademark sophistication and flair.

If you're a fan of jazz, or just a fan of great music in general, do yourself a favour and pick up this album. It's a reminder of why Duke Ellington is considered one of the true giants of the genre, and why his music continues to inspire and delight listeners all these years later. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

**Profile: Duke Ellington** If there's one thing Duke Ellington knew how to do, it was swing. The legendary bandleader, composer, and pianist was a true pioneer of jazz, bringing his unique style and vision to the forefront of the genre. Known for his impeccable sense of rhythm, innovative arrangements, and charismatic stage presence, Ellington was a force to be reckoned with in the jazz world. Born Edward Kennedy Ellington in Washington, D.C. in 1899, Duke (as he would come to be known) started playing piano at a young age and quickly found his passion for music. With his band, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, he took the jazz world by storm, blending elements of swing, blues, and orchestral music to create a sound that was distinctly his own. But Duke wasn't just a musician – he was a showman. Known for his flashy suits, larger-than-life personality, and dramatic flair, Ellington was a true entertainer on stage. His performances were a spectacle, with his band members playing in perfect synchrony while Duke himself tickled the ivories with a finesse that was unmatched. Throughout his career, Duke Ellington released countless albums, composed numerous jazz standards, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in music. From "Take the 'A' Train" to "Mood Indigo," his music continues to inspire musicians and listeners alike, proving that he truly was one of the greats. Sadly, Duke Ellington passed away in 1974, but his legacy lives on. His influence can be heard in the music of artists across genres, from jazz to hip-hop to pop. Duke Ellington was a true original, a visionary who pushed the boundaries of what jazz could be. And for that, we are eternally grateful.
