DUKE ELLINGTON Jazz Party In Stereo
New & Sealed One Sided, 4 Disc Audiophile Pressing - 45 RPM Series
Record Label: Classic Records/Columbia CS 8127
Jazz Party, a 1959 album by jazz legend Duke Ellington, contains a "formidable gallery of jazz stars" guesting, including Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Rushing (formerly the vocalist for Count Basie), Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves.
Highly collectable release from audiophile label, Classic Records. This title was mastered at Half Speed from the original source master tapes. An all-analog, tube amplification process was used at every step, then pressed on high quality virgin vinyl, one sided at 45 RPM, for the highest possible audio quality. Classic Records used a proprietary vinyl that guaranteed virtually no surface noise and sonically superior dynamics.
In short, this is as good as this album is ever going to sound on vinyl. Don't wait... this four record set is long out of print and growing harder to find - especially in this brand new, still sealed condition.
Part of the CLASSIC RECORDS 45 RPM Record Series.
The records are new and still sealed in their original tight shrink wrap. Corners are sharp, colors vibrant and spines are straight. There are no flaws or blemishes. 100% mint.

Review: Recorded in two live sessions about a week apart in February of 1959, JAZZ PARTY covers a lot of ground. Duke's late-'50s band included veterans like Johnny Hodges and Harry Carney in the reed section, as well as newer but equally esteemed musicians such as Clark Terry (trumpet) and tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves. Four of the cuts here make up the "Toot Suite," where, in typical Ellington fashion, various members of the orchestra are featured in turn as soloists.
JAZZ PARTY also features an ensemble of nine symphony percussionists on two cuts. The "in stereo" part of the title is justified by the claim that these recordings take advantage of stereo imaging to reproduce the original concert experience of hearing an array of vibes, xylophones, tympani and other percussion stretching from one end of the stage to the other. Bebop icon/trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie sits in for a tune, as does Jimmy Rushing; the Duke's impressionistic swing makes a fine foil for stone modernist and Kansas City blues belter alike.
