DUKE ELLINGTON

AND HIS ORCHESTRA

THE COMPLETE ELLINGTON INDIGOS
Description:
As the original liner notes for the Indigos album clearly states, the Ellington orchestra not only performed in concert halls presenting extended suites to be listened to from the comfort of a plush theatre seat it was also a legendary dance band, accustomed to playing very personal versions of the most celebrated standards as well as the numerous compositions by its leader. It must be said, however, that the prolific Ellington book well outnumbered the renditions of tunes from Tin Pan Alley. Therefore, Duke and his long time partner Billy Strayhorn's treatment of well known songs like "Willow Weep for Me", "Tenderly" and "Dancing in the Dark", always makes for an exciting listening experience. This edition put together for the first time ever all the material from the Indigos sessions, including two tunes omitted from the album and all of the alternate takes.
