Our Take

DUKE ELLINGTON Treasury Shows Vol. 25 is a swingin' good time that'll have you jiving like it's 1945. Ellington, a maestro of jazz, leads his band through a mesmerizing set that will leave you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers.

From the opening notes of "Take the 'A' Train" to the closing chords of "Perdido," the Duke Ellington Orchestra delivers a masterclass in musicality. The brass section blares, the bass thumps, and the piano tinkles in perfect harmony, creating a sound that is both timeless and thrilling.

What sets this album apart from the rest is the live recording format. The energy of the band, the banter between songs, and the applause of the audience all add to the authenticity and excitement of the performance. It's like being transported back in time to a smoky jazz club, surrounded by the sounds and sights of a bygone era.

Standout tracks include the lively "C Jam Blues" and the sultry "Do Nothin' Till You Hear from Me," but really, every song on this album is a gem. So throw on your best swinging outfit, grab a cocktail, and let Duke Ellington take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Trust us, you'll be glad you did.

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.
