Kentucky Jazz Repertory Orchestra, Miles Osland and Dick Domek, Directors
No jazz sound was more unique and recognizable than that of the "Duke" and this recording utilizes his authentic original orchestrations to recapture the "Ellington" sound in its full glory. Duke Ellington's music was known for its highly personal harmonies, unusual instrumental voicings and for creating a wide range of images, moods and emotions. The KJRO and special guest trumpeter Vince DiMartino have complete mastery of the Ellington style.
