Joe Pass - Portraits Of Duke Ellington [LP] (180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl)

Portraits of Duke Ellington is a 1975 album by jazz guitarist Joe Pass that pays tribute to the jazz legend Duke Ellington. The album was recorded just a month after Ellington's death and reached No. 37 on the Jazz Albums Chart. Featuring guitarist Joe Pass (just beginning to become famous), bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Bobby Durham, they are jamming on eight Ellington tunes and ''Caravan'' (which was penned by one of Duke's key sidemen, Juan Tizol). AllMusic says ''The interplay between the three musicians is quite impressive, and Pass' mastery of the guitar is obvious (he didn't really need the other sidemen). Highlights include ''In a Mellow Tone,'' ''Don't Get Around Much Anymore,'' and ''I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good).'' Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is a must-have for jazz fans. Housed in a single pocket Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket. 180-gram vinyl Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape Pressed at Quality Record Pressings Housed in Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket Tracklist: Side 1 1.
