HutchFan Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Duke Ellington Presents . . . (Bethlehem) Since this was a one-off recording for Bethlehem (and since about half the cuts are standards rather than Ellington compositions), it's easy to overlook -- but I really like it. Just listen to "Laura," a feature for Paul Gonsalves. Phew, that guy knew how to caress a ballad. (Of course, the same could be said of Hodges' playing on "Day Dream.") ... This is also the last record before Ellington's "comeback" at the Newport Jazz Festival. Ellington recorded DE Presents in February 1956, and Newport was in July of that same year.  Edited December 24, 2018 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellington recorded DE Presents in February 1956, and Newport was in July of that same year.  He did enough recording at those Feb 7-8 sessions that they released two records: the other one is called "Historically speaking and it's all older compositions by Ellington or Strayhorn.  You may have all of the 23 songs on 1 cd set. Before Newport  he also did a couple of small sessions for "the stockpile" which were released much later I believe.

paul secor Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Don Menza led the first live jazz band that I ever heard (when I was 17), and it's always a pleasure to revisit this great recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to a few things on YouTube.  Her work is very moving, beautiful compositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
