Review by Scott Yanow
This relaxed session gave three of Duke Ellington's finest sidemen rare opportunities to record outside of Ellington's Orchestra: tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves, Ray Nance (who had left Ellington a few years earlier) on trumpet, violin and vocal and (for half of this CD) altoist Norris Turney. The emphasis is on slower material but there are a few romps (such as "Stompy Jones") to give the session a bit of variety. Good swinging performances on mostly familiar tunes.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Esta relajada sesión dio a tres de los mejores acompañantes de Duke Ellington la rara oportunidad de grabar fuera de la Orquesta de Ellington: el saxofonista tenor Paul Gonsalves, Ray Nance (que había dejado a Ellington unos años antes) en la trompeta, el violín y la voz y (durante la mitad de este CD) el contralto Norris Turney. El énfasis está en el material más lento, pero hay algunos retoques (como "Stompy Jones") para dar a la sesión un poco de variedad. Buenas interpretaciones con swing en la mayoría de los temas conocidos.

Beautiful record, but would you mind checking I cover The Waterfront.File seems damaged in the second part or maybe it's my VLC. All the best and thank you.
