Duke Ellington - The Great Paris Concert

Review by Dave Ward

The Great Paris Concert by Duke Ellington is a masterpiece that showcases the legendary jazz musician's virtuosity and brilliance. Recorded live at the Salle Pleyel in Paris in 1963, this album captures Ellington's dynamic performance and his ability to connect with the audience.

The album features some of Ellington's most iconic compositions, including "Take the A Train," "Perdido," and "Caravan," all of which are given new life through the amazing improvisations and arrangements. The band's tightness and precision are evident throughout the album, and the soloists are given ample room to shine.

One of the highlights of the album is Ellington's piano playing, which is both technically impressive and emotionally rich. His solo on "Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue" is a tour-de-force that builds to an electrifying climax.
