Eine kleine Sensation für alle Jazzfreunde!

Duke Ellingtons musikalische Arbeit scheint gut dokumentiert: Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, eine gute, unveröffentlichte Duke Ellington-Aufnahme zu finden, ist eher gering. Genau das ist diese Session jedoch.

Aufgenommen am 09.07.1970 im Rhenus Studio zu Köln. Erstmals komplett veröffentlicht, genau 45 Jahre später. Duke Ellington, ein amerikanischer Jazzgigant auf der Höhe seines Schaffens, trifft auf einen jungen Toningenieur und Produzenten, der sich anschickt, dem Pop einen neuen Sound zu geben - Conny Plank.

Eine Empfehlung, nicht nur für Jazzfans!

Info engl. An American jazz legend in the twilight of his life encounters a young sound engineer and producer who is preparing to give pop a new sound. The essence of that special moment is documented with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra's The Conny Plank Session, due out July 10th via Grönland. For those unfamiliar with German producer and sound engineer Conny Plank, he was known for his work with Kraftwerk, NEU!, Cluster, Eurythmics, Ultravox, D.A.F., and many others, and his work is extremely important and influential.

Myths abound about Ellington and Plank working together at Rhenus Studio in Cologne sometime in 1970. However, with each tale, the crux of the story is the same - Ellington listened to the takes and praised Plank's work. Plank admired Ellington and received recognition from the right person at the right time. Influence and recognition - it was a stroke of luck, and for Plank, a moment of realization and revelation.
