The Ellington-Strayhorn compositions treat their soloists like actors doing scenes and, in effect, playing parts, even quoting lines after a fashion - Clark Terry \"plays\" Puck in \"Up and Down, Up and Down (I Will Lead Them Up and Down),\" and Johnny Hodges turns in one of the most sensuous performances of his career for \"Half the Fun,\" from Antony and Cleopatra. 1957 release. 180 gram MONO recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke Ellington \u0026 His Orchestra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40149379350599,"sku":"15288691","price":72.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1729729.jpg?v=1755254195","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/ellington-duke-his-orchestra-such-sweet-thunder","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
