Volume Five - 1945
This Circle Records release captures Duke Ellington and his orchestra during 1945, a pivotal year in jazz. The band was in transition, with Ellington exploring new musical directions even as swing remained the dominant idiom. Expect classic Ellington sophistication—beautifully voiced ensemble passages, stellar soloists taking inspired turns, arrangements of remarkable craft and innovation. The music captures a moment when bebop was emerging but swing still dominated the airwaves. Ellington's orchestra responded by pushing their own artistry deeper, creating music of genuine substance and enduring elegance.
