HutchFan Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Stealing Milestones' idea for tribute thread. But instead of Monk, this one's for Ellington and/or Strayhorn. I think these three are exceptional: Most of my favorite Monk tributes are by musicians who aren't pianists. With Duke, the opposite is true. No idea why.

danasgoodstuff Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) The handful of Elingtunes Bechet did are all pretty special, IMHO. This is pretty special. Edited July 14, 2016 by danasgoodstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I remember seeing the WSQ around the time this came out: Not a favorite. Another ex-Ellingtonian paying tribute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cherry pick this and the scattered Clarinet Summit Ellingtunia tracks you could make something pretty good, or at least interesting.
