The Conny Plank Session (CD)
Barcode: 5060238631709
Duke Ellingtons musical works are seemingly well documented; the likelihood of finding a good,unreleased Duke Ellington recording is slight at best.When Grˆnland Records called and told me they had found exactly that in Conny Planks estate and asked me if I wanted to give it a listen, I felt pretty honored, and excited. The music of Duke Ellington is in my worldview to jazz what Bachs oeuvre is to classical music: THE great benchmark, or to raise it up onto an even higher pedestal the Old Testament, the alpha and omega. With both Bach and Ellington, you can sit down at a piano simply to go through it building chords and something great always happens. This music is so rich, and it is virtually indestructible.
