"Take the A Train is the vibrant signature composition of Duke Ellington, the most important composer in the history of jazz, also a rare bandleader and pianist who held his large group together for almost 50 years.

Ellington used his band as a musical laboratory for his new compositions and shaped his writing specifically to showcase the talents of his band members, many of whom remained with him for long periods. It is quite impossible for one album to capture the full flavour and rich diversity of Duke Ellington’s music and orchestra. The eight tracks here offer a remarkably well-balanced sample of the prolific repertoire – the immortal compositions, the arresting arrangements, the outstanding soloists and, not least, the distinctive solo work of the piano player, Edward Kennedy Ellington, the Duke who became King of Orchestral Jazz.

This is a DSD 256 release, transferred directly from the Analog Master Tapes by Rene LaFlamme at 2xHD Mastering using the Merging Technologies Horus Analog to DSD 256 Converter.

It’s really two albums in one. The first 6 tracks star Duke Ellington & His Orchestra playing classics including Take The “A” Train, Satin Doll and Things Ain’t What They Used To Be. Then the album brings you two tracks featuring Duke on Solo Piano performing a Medley including It Don’t Mean A Thing, Solitude, I Got It Bad, Don’t Get Around Much Anymore, Mood Indigo, Sophisticated Lady and Caravan plus the final track New World A Comin’. Wow!
