...and his mother called him Bill

Description

The disappearance of Billy Strayhorn was to significantly affect Duke Ellington, who had been working closely with this talented arranger for nearly thirty years. This vibrant tribute from a gathered orchestra is undoubtedly one of the most intense moments in the entire discography (yet monumental) of the pianist and leader. Royal repertoire ("The Intimacy Of The Blues", "Rain Check", "Lotus Blossom", or "Blood Count", the ultimate composition of the deceased), chosen soloists (Johnny Hodges, Clark Terry...), emotion on the surface: a masterpiece!
