Hommage A Duke Ellington Digipack

Description

Recreating the "Jungle" repertoire of the 1920s-1930s by Duke Ellington, with rigor, freshness, and enthusiasm, is the great achievement of the "Rois Du Fox-Trot." To achieve such a result, of course, a strong team made up of excellent soloists who are both stylish and original is necessary. But to unite the team, a Conductor is also needed! Nicolas Montier, respectful of the original text, and brilliant in the art of adapting it to highlight the project's performers. It is this successful complementarity that shines through to the audience and makes the "Rois Du Fox-Trot" a gem of the current Classic Jazz scene. As Claude Carrière recently wrote about this album: "It is the striking proof that a certain jazz can become a repertoire music that escapes trends and time."
