Also, this LP explodes the critical line that the early '50s was a relatively fallow period for the Duke; any of these smoking, concert length tracks will torpedo that notion. Old favorites from the Ellington hit parade are given extended treatments, with singer Betty Roche taking the A-train for a bebop-flavored ride, \"The Mooche\" spotlighting clarinetists Jimmy Hamilton and Russell Procope, and Ellington's boogie-woogie piano kicking off a super-charged \"Perdido\" for trumpeter Clark Terry. 180 gram vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Skin Deep \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mooche \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Take the \"A\" Train \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Tone Parallel to Harlem (The Harlem Suite) \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Perdido\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke Ellington \u0026 His Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40149378728007,"sku":"14070051","price":72.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1430848.jpg?v=1755254194","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/ellington-duke-his-orchestra-ellington-uptown","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
