On the TT the one and only Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington and his glorious orchestra:

The Far East Suite
Duke Ellington and his Orchestra


Mount Harisa featuring the maestro and the beautiful, warm, slurring tenor saxophone of Paul Gonsalves:


Blue Pepper with the late great Johnny Hodges on alto saxophone and William 'Cat' Anderson on trumpet:


Agra features Harry Carney on baritone saxophone, Harry joined Duke in 1926 and still anchored the saxophone section when Duke died in 1974, he was a lovely friendly man as a (doey eyed teenager can testify) and he was a splendid musician too:


Isfahan (probably written by Billy Strayhorn) again once again features the leader of the saxophone section Johnny Hodges:


Ad Lib on Nippon features the Duke, John Lamb on bass and Jimmy Hamilton on clarinet:



We'll never hear the like of them again.

Lovely stuff.
Is that Bill Frisell I see on the cover?

It's a really nice album. Hard boppy, even funky in parts. Lovely band and CH is really on form. Sax and flute.
Yeah. It's Bill Frisell alright. He's everywhere these days :) but he doesn't overpower things here.
I think he's fantastic but when I want to hear him. Leaders choice though I guess.
Saw Charles Lloyg at the NCH a couple of years ago. Amazing ! And I keep going back to Hagar's Song.

Super record - a long time favourite and saw this version of the band (including Allan Holdsworth) in UCD around 1975.They even had a quadrophonic PA system.
