Berlin 1959

Opis

Berlin 1959Opis:What we have here is the welcome memento of the Duke Ellington band's 1959 European tour (these had pretty much become annual events). Berlin's Sportpalast is not a concert hall and during the cursed Nazi reign often was the site of speeches by Hitler and his fellow criminals, but the hall can be said to have been thoroughly purified by sounds of jazz by the time of this concert. Some observations regarding personnel: An important new voice in the trumpet section was that of Clark Terry, previously with Charlie Barnet and Count Basie, most prominently. He came into his own with Duke but left after feeling that he got little to play other than his feature, Perdido. Aside from Terry, a non-soloing but important lead voice in the trumpet section is that of Andres Merenguito, also known as Fats Ford, who had served in Louis Armstrong's last big band. Fortunately, the great reed section, one of the greatest in jazz history, is intact - and in great form.
