Ellington was completely won over by Strayhorn's fantasies and could conjure them in a way that not even Strayhorn could - a priceless collaboration...
bringing jazz and classical music togheter in perfection. The Duke always makes me speechless and brings serenity
it is classic now...
He touches my heart, breaks it and lovingly puts it back together...strong, new & blessed!
Duke Ellington: A fountain of eternal compositions --and nobody plays them like Duke himself.These renditions are luminous.
Soda fountain.
Fleurette Africaine is pure magic, that performance...
Amazing stuff. Father of jazz.
From the opening tickles of Fleurette Africaine, you know you're in for something special. Life stresses dissolve ... like pistachio ice cream under a morning sun.

Incredible artistry from this master. As a point of personal irony (& humility), I always thought of Ellington's genius abstractly - associating him with big-band compositions, where I've always preferred small groups & solo music in all forms. Prefer chamber works to symphonies, etc. Was,of course, blindsided by Such Sweet Thunder, immediately bought the vinyl album, mono or no. Wonderful presentation here of his searching, transcendent maturity in presenting the familiar, as if (again, for me) never-before-heard pieces, to not just delight us, but always, make us think about where the hell we are in life - & can we make life more joyous, for all? Thanks to R. in T. & the producers.
Great comment. All the best!
@@ReminiscinginTempo Agreed!
Each time he plays a piece there is something new and different.
Great ! It was the FIRST FIRST jazz album bought in late 1992 in the newsstand in front my hugh school. It was a gadget of the italian's jazz magazine "Musica Jazz". I know it by heart !
Complimenti!
Not “Musica Jazz” but BLU JAZZ

Took me way too long to really appreciate Duke - But I'm glad I eventually made it. 😊
This is amazing. Cheered me up and and made me cry too.
Beautiful.
Supreme ...
usava il pianoforte come se fosse un intera orchestra,inarrivabile Duca.
btw ~ if you don't like this you are wildly out of place commenting on music in The Idiom. This is gorgeous music: another side of Duke ... people forget what a terrific pianist he really is with all the attention focused on his bandleader role.
this and single petal of a rose are my absolute favorite solo piano pieces...the touch and composition - I love his playing
ELEGANCE OF ELLINGTON 🙏🏽😔😌
What a master. Fleurette Africaine is sublime, magical.
Every single performance is different.
Thank You for sharing, nowadays people sit in front of their computer getting entertained. Before they sat more in front of their chosen hobby. My saxophone is mostly on the loft, but I play the piano.
Truly wonderful
The greatest American composer.
Along with Frank Lloyd Wright..."DUKE"...the supreme American artist.
of the 20 e century
Trismegistus what about Hopper?
@@basieite Profoundly American. Yet if I was going to put a painter on the same pedestal as Ellington, it would have to be one of universal interest such as one the great French Impressionists at the turn of the century.

Duke Ellington had many great soloists in his band over the decades, but I've long thought that his greatest soloist was his piano player.

Hard to find CD then?
thank you for posting these pearls.
is this a rehearsal?
is there footage?
"Pre-recording for ORTF, Paris. July 2, 1970. Telecasted on August 1973" is quite missleading....
Yes there is footage
Things Ain't What They Used To Be was written by Mercer Ellington.
Yes, you're correct! I'm going to edit the video info
+jeremy stein According to inside sources actually written by Johnny Hodges, but lost to Mercer in a poker game.
I never knew that. If true, it's a perfect piece of jazz trivia.
!
12:28 chords
13:26 turnaround
The beginning alone....sheesh
This is such an amazing recording! Is it avaliable on LP by any chance?
No, I don't think it's available
There was a trio record with Duke, Mingus and Max Roach, which I think featured this tune as 'La plus belle Africaine'.
Was it "Money Jungle"?
Now that you mention it: yes. I had forgotten, thanks.
usava il pianoforte come un orchestra,e se lo poteva anche permettere il Duca.
Correct info on the session and source of this recording. The liner notes on the (bootleg) CD release are incorrect: desguin.net/sonotheque/1_JAZZ/1_ELLINGTON/Duke%20Ellington/Schmalenberg1970/catalogue.html
Where'd you get this?

You're right but remember, sometimes dislikes happen not because of the content but because of how the content is presented on CZcams. For instance, this is a low bitrate conversion, tonnes of digital fluttering if you turn it up at all. I dislike that but the music is beautiful.
Another "Lotus Blossom". Last song, at 28:23.

Duke is to Jazz as Horowitz is to Rach. ...proper
