Duke Ellington & Charles Mingus & Max Roach - Mone

ELLINGTON, DUKE

****(*)AMG"Duke Ellington surprised the jazz worldin 1962 with his historic trio sessionfeaturing Charles Mingus and MaxRoach. Not in a mood to simply reworkolder compositions, the bulk of the LPfocused on music he wrote specificallyfor the session. Every jazz fan shouldown a copy of this sensational recordingsession." (Ken Dryden)DOWN BEAT"Duke Ellington continues to be a mostunpredictable and amazing musician. Thisalbum is astonishing -this is Ellington thesoloist in some of the fastest companyaround. I've never heard Ellington playas he does on this album; Mingus andRoach, especially Mingus, push him sostrongly that one can almost hear Ellingtonshow them who's the boss -and hedominates both of them, which is no meanaccomplishment. Like I said, Duke Ellingtonis an amazing musician." (Don DeMicheal
