hopkins Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I have always found the drumming distracting on this great solo by Ellington ("In a Sentimental Mood" - Ellington & Coltrane). There is a mono and a stereo version. I feel like the piano is also drowned out in the mono version. So I took the left channel of the stereo version and made it into a mono track. I guess I had time to waste - but it is a good opportunity to listen and enjoy the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) weird thing is, hearing the balance like this, it feels like the time goes out of whack somewhere in the middle of his solo. I will have to listen to the original. Edited November 30, 2023 by AllenLowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is wasted, nothing is predictable, everything is surprising yet logical and obvious, and everything is profound.

AllenLowe Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 and now listening to it in the original mix, all is well. I actually think Elvin's drumming is brilliant and brings out something really extra in Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkins Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Not related to my initial post, but felt compelled to share this wonderful performance. Recorded on Danish TV in 1967 (not 1965 as per the Discogs entry): https://www.discogs.com/master/1130545-Duke-Ellington-Copenhagen-1965-Parts-One-and-Two Edited December 14, 2023 by hopkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
