Duke Ellington 100th Birthday Tribute

Description:

In 1999, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Mulgrew Miller came together in a unique and unlikely pairing to pay tribute to Duke Ellington on the 100th anniversary of his birth. The result was a passionate and long-lived musical partnership between two masters of their respective instruments, but the original recordings were never released. For the first time ever, more than 20 years after it's recording, this lost treasure is finally made available to the public. The duo was initially brought together by Bang & Olufsen and set out to celebrate Ellington and his partnership with bassist Jimmy Blanton. With the help of Per Arnoldi, who is also credited with the album's artwork, NHØP was approached to take part and tapped Mulgrew Miller to tackle a series of Ellington's classic themes and a couple of their own. He saw the opportunity to work with Mulgrew Miller, a pianist whom he admired and had not yet had the opportunity to work with, and this decision paid off greatly for both of them. A great musical and personal partnership was born, and the duo's captivating chemistry is obvious from the first notes.

"Duo" is a captivating CD that brings together two jazz legends: pianist Mulgrew Miller and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. This album, released by the renowned label Storyville, showcases an intimate musical conversation between these virtuosos, blending technical brilliance with heartfelt expression. The tracklist features both jazz standards and original compositions, highlighting the duo's remarkable synergy and improvisational prowess. Mulgrew Miller was celebrated for his lyrical touch and versatility in modern jazz piano, while Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen was known as one of the greatest double bassists in jazz history. Together, their collaboration on "Duo" stands as a testament to their artistry and mutual respect. Storyville Records has long been recognized for its dedication to preserving high-quality jazz recordings from some of the genre?s most influential artists.
