Ellington at Newport (1956) - Duke Ellington

 Review da Silab

 Review do Bugio

Duke is more than a musician, he is a maestro. The songs are fabulously crafted and his musicians are just unbelievable. He has been making music since 1929 and by the time of this album, in 1956, he was already one of the biggest names in jazz. I think he had to deal with racism a lot back then, this kind of stupidity was the norm, but he never looked worried or depressed. He was a jazz tower!
