| Description: | Part of the Jean-Pierre Leloir 180 gram vinyl Collection, in spite of its title, Festival Session is a studio album that primarily featured tunes Duke presented
at the Newport and Playboy jazz festivals during 1959. The 1956 Newport Jazz Festival (the third edition of that event), had proven to be essential for Duke Ellingtonâ??s career, which at the time was struggling due to the hardships of sustaining a big band.
Festival Session was given a fivestar rating in Down Beat by Don DeMicheal, who wrote, â??What a wonderfully powerful yet subtle instrument is the Ellington band. The moods range from thundering jubilation through pixyish humor and satire to quiet reflection. By all means, listen to this.â? - 2 BONUS TRACKS //INCL.12PG. BOOKLETDigitally remastered and expanded edition including two bonus tracks. This release contains the complete original 1959 classic album Festival Session, on which Duke Ellington introduces new long compositions for his orchestra that he had been preparing during the previous months. This is evidenced by the two extended live versions of 'Copout Extension' and 'Idiom '59'. Two of the album's best pieces, they were recorded at Newport two months before the studio session and are presented here as bonus tracks. Poll Winners. 2010. |
