Free Music Notes for Ken Burns JAZZ Collection: Duke Ellington
Free Music Review: Solid, especially for scholars.
Hit: 5 Stars
All 22 of the Ken Burns' collections of major artists' works are head and shoulders above similar compilations. The sound quality, the documentation, the selection of material puts all similar "Best Hits of -" "The Ultimate of-" "The Quintessential-" compilations to shame. Unlike the record companies that keep re-packaging a limited selection of their own materials to make a buck, Burns is at least "sincere" in his production of these "microcosms" (though why he included a Herbie Hancock anthology is beyond my understanding).The "problem" with the Ellington collection is that it's a bit too specialized, too hooked on the music of the 20s and 30s, too lacking in expository commentary about each of the sessions to be a good "introduction" to Ellington's music. Why wasn't "Harlem Airshaft" included? How could he ignore altogether "Such Sweet Thunder" or "The Nutcracker Suite," albums that many experts of Ellingtonia consider his very best material ever. Then there's "Blue Rose," and "A Drum Is a Woman," and "Suite Thursday," and . . . In short, this is the Ellington CD for the semi-experienced, informed listener who wishes to gather some vintage material in a convenient container.
