CD Reviews

Great concept, great music

09/28/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The idea behind this concert was a sort of "musical tour" of New York City. Note the titles - "Sugar Hill Penthouse," "Chinatown," "Slumming on Park Avenue," et cetera.The album has a great variety of styles. It has an excellent version of one of Ellington's lesser-known compositions, "Jungle Nights in Harlem" (1930), as well as more modern songs, such as "Scrapple from the Apple."Good pacing as well. There's not too much slow or fast in a row.My favorite soloist on the album is trombonist Wycliffe Gordon. Check him out on "Jungle Nights."Bottom line: Out of my whole collection, this album is one of my top three most-listened-to albums. I never seem to get tired of listening to it. Buy it."
