Though less celebrated than the justifiably legendary volumes of THE DUKE ELLINGTON SONGBOOK from the mid-'50s, 1966's ELLA AT DUKE'S PLACE is nonetheless a sterling achievement. This CD reissue, featuring remastered sound, new liner notes, and never-before-seen photos, brings out the subtleties not only of Fitzgerald's honeyed voice (which by this point in her long career was growing burnished and dusky, somehow bluesier than before) but also of Jimmy Jones' brilliant arrangements. The interplay of such Ellington stalwarts as Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, Cat Anderson, Cootie Williams, and Ellington himself on piano is reason enough to listen to this set on its own; by the mid-'60s, these men had played together in varying combinations for more than three decades, and the casual complexity of these arrangements is as impressive as Fitzgerald's spectacular singing. |
