BRAVO! WOW! Great swinging! God,I miss my late grandpa (He died 1999)who instilled in me a heavy jazz influence (I'm particularly a Smooth Jazz fan but through the years transcended ,enjoyed and learned to appreciate the roots ) whilst he plays in the piano standards such as Sophisticated Lady,Mood Indigo even Body and Soul and the like (which I enjoyed a great deal).

He would often say "Know Duke Ellington,hey?", and I was just about 10-11 years old that time(still young though,just 36, ha-ha) as I dig into his THEN casette tapes (and some phonograph records as well) of HErp Albert,Chick Corea,Earl Klugh and Alphonse Mouson (around early 80's)among many others which I enjoyed immensely at that young age.

"Sometime in your life, you must know him. He's the jazz giant. WHat you hear now are jazz fusion", he said. And boy was he right. =) It was only in College days when I digged into his casette tape recordings of Duke's, Great!

Duke is also in ...( 1 week ago by GatesThomas)
Duke is also in rare form here, incorporating all of his signature piano styles in lightning succession. In his short spot just after the "Diminuendo" he seems to almost spoofs his very early stride-like style, then gradually increases the intensity of his comping until he's playing hard bop (or close to it) around 3:50. At about 4:48, Duke introduces a modal treatment of t he blues, and the effect is stunning. Makes this 1937 work sound like 1965. A real tour de force!
