Duke Ellington & Ray Brown - This One's For Blanton - Analogue Productions Pablo LP

180 Gram Vinyl — Analogue Productions Pablo Reissue

Duke Ellington teams up here with bassist Ray Brown in a set reminiscent of Duke's work with Jimmy Blanton three decades before. In addition to the four-part "Fragmented Suite for Piano and Bass," the duo plays five standards, including "Pitter Panther Patter" from the Blanton days. More than 30 years after Blanton's death, Brown went into a studio with Ellington to pay homage to his idol — the duets echo the famous Ellington/Blanton pairings and demonstrate Brown's creativity and virtuosity. Delightful and often playful music.
