Producer Norman Granz was a long-time partner of Duke Ellington, so it's not surprising that he often hosted Ellington tributes for his labels. "A Celebration of Duke" is one of them, and although Clark Terry is the only musician on this album to have played with Ellington for any length of time, everyone involved draws on this experience.
Particularly interesting are the pieces with Zoot Sims on soprano saxophone, especially the neglected "Tonight I Shall Sleep", and Sarah Vaughan's urban, intense voice, accompanied only by the guitar of Joe Pass and pianist Mike Wofford.
Mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this 180-gram re-release from Analogue Productions offers everything jazz fans expect from an audiophile re-release.
Producer Norman Granz was an associate of Duke Ellington's for many years, and it is not surprising that his labels have frequently hosted Ellington tributes that bring out the best in the participating world-class musicians. Although Clark Terry is the only participant in the present celebration to have logged significant time as an Ellingtonian, all hands draw sustenance from the unbeatable material here.
Of special interest are the tracks on which Zoot Sims plays soprano sax, especially the neglected "Tonight I Shall Sleep," and Sarah Vaughan's pair of urbane and intense vocals, accompanied only by the guitar of album-MVP Joe Pass and pianist Mike Wofford.
