Truly great

PAR-EXCELLENCE!!!

The genius Duke Ellington and his great musicians. Love them madly

A delight to see these musicians having fun. An incredible rhythm section that allows Ernie Shepard to be seen well (as in few films). Johnny Hodges' Mood Indigo is one of the most beautiful I've heard from the Duke orchestra. I think Paul Gonsalves' solo on Diminuendo is even superior to the Newport version, because, apart from him, the orchestra is at a point of perhaps more intense complicity. Congratulations for posting this marvel.

Duke Ellington was the singular most important figure in Jazz. What a legacy!

On ne reverra plus jamais de musiciens de cette trempe 😢

This was filmed January 22, 1963

A real rarity is "Angu" by Strayhorn at 12:40.

This was recorded on 21 January 1963, not 1961.

名曲中の名曲名演奏、何度聞いてもリピートで聴いてもあきない。❤😊

thank you for posting, brilliant!

Et Paul gonzalves mon dieu quel sax

Génial orquestre de jazz et quels musiciens

Thanks

Cat Anderson le meilleur trompettiste de tout les temps

Aquest solo del Gonsalves ("Diminuendo and Crescendo in blue") és bo, sí, però Ellington el va explotar massa repetidament des del Newport Jazz Festival del 1956.
