Posted Thursday, December 15, 2016 by Anonymous Ellington plays Tchaikovsky. You can't go wrong. Flat, centered, quiet vinyl. It doesn't get any more fun than this if you are an Ellington fan.

A Perfect Record

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, September 30, 2008 by A.S. Yup, it's basically perfect. Drop needle, silence. Horns enter bright and vivid, drums are crisp, bass is round and rich. Solos are nicely balanced with the ensemble. LOTS of detail. An excellent re-mastering. Much care was obviously used in this presentation. Musically, it's Ellington at his big-band hippest, generally speaking. Cool arrangements- "A Train" in particular. "The Mooche" also packs quite a punch. "Skin Deep" features lots of drum solo: Loud, mean drum solo. "A Tone Parallel to Harlem" covers a lot of ground. This is Ellington flexing his compositional muscles. "Perdido" rounds out the set just fine. Get this re-master. The music jumps out at you. Makes the individual of discerning taste remember why they listen to vinyl.

The Music is Questionable

3 Stars
Posted Friday, February 1, 2008 by Anonymous Pressing was very flat, quiet, and the recorded sound quite good. On side two, when backup singers come in, the tone and placement are very realistic. However, I question the selection of music, arrangments, and instrumentation for the album. Although Taj is obviously gifted as a blues or R&B vocalist, there is not much here in the songs for me to latch unto. Good recording, quiet pressing, talented performer, but not much else.
