DUKE ELLINGTONAND HIS COTTON CLUB ORCHESTRA
JUNGLE NIGHTS IN HARLEM |  |
Description:
This second of three CDs of early Ellington released by Bluebird has the loose theme of his Cotton Club days as an excuse to release a variety of recordings from a five year period. Highlights include the two part "A Night at the Cotton Club" essentially a medley, some of the hotter songs from the Broadway musical Blackbirds of 1928 "Bandanna Babies," in addition to an odd vocal, has one of trumpeter Bubber Miley's greatest solos, some mood pieces and two lengthy medleys from 1932. Although the music deserves to be reissued as complete sessions, this sampler is consistently delightful and shows that, when it came to swing, Ellington along with Fletcher Henderson predated everyone. |
