Sweet Thunder

I haven't posted in a good while, as nothing has happened in a good while that I felt remarkable.

 

"Sweet Thunder" is an exception.  This original rescoring of the Duke Ellington original is the freshest thing I've heard in quite some time, and the execution is flawless.  My wife and I heard it live last Saturday night at Snug Harbor and had to have the CD.

 

Well worth a listen.

Jazz and Shakespeare.  Who else is going to compose music based on Shakespeare?!!

 

"Such Sweet Thunder" by Duke Ellington is one of my all time favorite albums!  Hard driving swing . . . gets no better than this!

Bet that was a really great concert!
