Ellington, Duke
Afro Bossa
Originally released in 1963, this is a majestic piece of work. Considered as one of Ellington's best studio recordings
of the Sixties this is also an essential mosaic piece within Duke's open wide afro-centric vision. Performed by a top
version of his famous big band, Afro Bossa sounds as a sophisticated, sensual blend of orchestral Jazz arrangements and
black bossa flavoured grooves. Among the players, many of Duke's historical sidemen such as trumpeter Ray Nance, sax
giants Paul Gonsalves and Johnny Hodges, drummer extraordinaire Sam Woodyard and last but not least, Ellington's alter
ego Billy Strayhorn, what else?
