The Bay Big Band - Plays Duke Ellington
Review by Viver Israel
The Bay Big Band's album, Plays Duke Ellington, is a tribute to one of the most influential jazz composers of all time. The band's interpretation of Ellington's classics is both respectful and innovative, showcasing their exceptional musicianship and creativity.
The album opens with a lively rendition of "Take the A Train," featuring a swinging horn section and a dynamic rhythm section. The band's energy is infectious, and listeners can't help but tap their feet to the beat.
Other highlights include "Mood Indigo," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a lush, atmospheric sound, and "Caravan," a lively tune that features a memorable saxophone solo.
