Advantages: The fundamentals - Classic Big Band Style Jazz Disadvantages: Sound quality was poor
Duke Ellington composed many interesting traditional jazz music suited at that time for big band style. Amongst the popular music he wrote were Mood Indigo, It Don't Mean A Thing, Caravan, Chelsea Bridge and many more. His compositions in my opinion were very radical compared to those of the traditional era which cause some people to dislike it. It applies more tension chords as ever, bringing in modern jazz concepts and adapting them in a traditional ... ...the legends in the field of jazz and although many do not know him, they have heard of him. Many of his songs are taken today and played in small group bands, trios and quartets and improvised to meet modern expectations.
I personally enjoyed the tracks because I am a jazz fanatic. What I didn't enjoy was the poor recording quality which is probably inevitable during those times.

He is however one of the legends in the field of jazz and although many do not know him, they have heard of him. Many of his songs are taken today and played in small group bands, trios and quartets and improvised to meet modern expectations.

It is really quite hard to comment on this one because there isn't much history to the songs. What I can comment on however is that while many of us only know jazz from modern smooth artists such as Keiko Matsui and Kenny G, this would be an interesting one to actually step back, go back in time and experience the essence of pure traditions in jazz, big band style.
Advantages: Top players, every one of them Disadvantages: Plymouth are top and Exeter and broke :(
. Although one took a large deflection the other two were class, one brave opportunist goal and a second top draw take down and finish. Then to prove it was not a fluke, he went and scored another hat-trick in the league the following week. Known by fans as ‘Duke’ Ellington he must surely be destined for bigger things, still young with a large amount of talent. Taken a while to break onto the scene and has had some trouble with injuries, but has still managed to move up to third in the goal scoring charts.
4. Lee Hodges – Scunthorpe attacking midfielder who likes to get forward and join the attacks. A real crowd favourite with Scunthorpe since arriving from West Ham two seasons ago, still young at 23 with a big future ahead. Good goal scorer from midfield and a class player on the ball can create goals as well as he can take ...
and more.
OK, Indulgence mode again but I can?t help it. One of the great cds in my collection is DukeEllington with Elle, a 3 CD set, classics like ?Take the A train?, 'Rockin' in rythm', ?Night in T?, etc. It?s more an experience than an album. I would like to be there, in Al Capone?s club, hitting the Hooch and listening to ?the Duke and his guests, a one night only special? ? I thank you.

That?s your lot, or rather my lot. I deliberately left out classical as the compositions are not unique to an artist, though it would have been nice to see Leonard Bernstein conduct or Jacqueline Dupree play.
Coliseum, Tempest, The Beatles, Crowded House, Sam Brown, Sting, The Police, I could go on for a very long time, but I think you?ve suffered enough, thanks for the opportunity to share, be seeing you. ...
Advantages: He's just brilliant, sings fantastic songs, sings them fantastically well Disadvantages: Young people think he's sad
and tone, it was still quite light and had no depth. After years of recording though, his voice deepened and gained an emotive edge that made his songs very moving.
In 1953 he signed to the Capitol record label. World renowned as the leading label of jazz artists, Frank Sinatra made his most perfect and moving recordings with Capitol. They got Frank recording straight away, with the superb albums ‘Swing Easy’ and ‘Songs for Young Lovers’ being released in his first six months with the label.
He spent many years with Capitol, where he recorded scores of albums, all of which were highly successful both commercially and critically. He recorded songs from the great American songbooks of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George & Ira Gershwin and DukeEllington. He took classic songs and made them his own, singing them in ...
