Probably my favourite Blanchard. Partly soundtrack to Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke"
Great orchestrations and some tremendous solo's - clearly a very personal work.

This is John's son. Ravi.
Been digging this album on the NPR music app for the last while.
Really rather good ...

On the TT:
Duke Ellingtion visited England in the late fifties and met HRH Queen Elizabeth, he was very taken with her and with the warm reception he received in Britain and so on his return to the United States he wrote a new suite dedicated to HRH, the Queen's Suite. In February & April 1959, at his own expense, he brought his orchestra inrto a recording studio and recorded the entire suite. He had one pressing made and arranged for the delivery of the LP to Buckingham Palace. He blocked all attempts to put it on commercial release so it was only made available in the mid-seventies after Duke had died.
The other two suites were written and recorded in 1971 & 1972.

In the seventies this was more than just a curiousity item. There are four musicians on this album: Roland Hanna, Dick Hyman, Hank Jones & Marian McPartland and all are Jazz pianists, they play together on every track and it works beautifully, they don't "get in each other's way". It's a lovely album.

and what a pity it is that more people do not know Johnny Hodges. This is a lovely LP, Hodges assembled a band of -- mainly Ellington -- musicians in the studio for this recording, it was made in 1964.

A Jazz quintet and a quintet of Indian Classical musicians performing in the first recordings of its kind, from studio sessions in 1967 & 1968, it works very well too.
