Duke Ellington - Blues In Orbit - Analogue Productions LP

180 Gram Vinyl, Gatefold Tip-On Jacket, Remastered by Bernie Grundman

One of Duke Ellington's most underrated gems, Blues in Orbit gathers eleven concise, swinging performances cut in after-midnight sessions in December 1959. Familiar favorites like 'In a Mellotone' and 'C Jam Blues' sit alongside lesser-heard treasures such as 'Blues in Blueprint' and 'Sweet and Pungent,' with Johnny Hodges, Ray Nance, Harry Carney and Jimmy Hamilton all in superb form. Recorded in stereo with gorgeous arrangements, it is a perfect entry point for new listeners and a sonic showcase for collectors.
