	DUKE ELLINGTON Masterpieces By Ellington (2021 Analogue Productions exceptional double album 2-LP edition of the Duke's historic 1951 Columbia Masterworks album, recorded just four years removed from the dawn of the analogue tape era. Masterpieces is a revelation and a throwback to a golden recording age. Remastered by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, cut at 45RPM and pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Quality Record Pressings, this two disc edition will leave you breathhless! Housed ins Tracklisting: ide a deluxe gatefold picture sleeve by Stoughton Printing, factory sealed from new in its triple hype stickered tearbag. Essential)��"...while the 33 was a startler, the new (45 RPM) version - spread out on two LPs, to accommodate the wider grooves - will leave you breathless. There's more sparkle to Ellington's piano, more wood in Wendell Marshall's bass, more breath and reed and romance in Johnny Hodges' alto sax, more force in Jimmy Hamilton's hard-blown clarinet. Each player in the horn sections sounds more distinct; I hear more of Duke's playing, underneath those sections, too. And soloists - palpable enough in 33 1/3 RPM - are holographic at 45. In short, the 45 lets us hear more of the music, more of the detail, more of the human presence; it transports us more completely back in time." - Fred Kaplan, Stereophile.com, June 17, 2017. Masterpieces By Ellington shines from an astonishingly brief period of history that gave the recording industry two of its greatest achievements - the introduction of magnetic tape recording and the 33 1/3 LP, or long-playing record. Now with our 45 RPM release, the best-sounding version of this historic album gives listeners an even richer sonic experience. The dead-quiet double-LP, with the music spread over four sides of vinyl, reduces distortion and high frequency loss as the wider-spaced grooves let your stereo cartridge track more accurately. Four years. That's all it took to go from the discovery by Americans, of German advancements in the field of sound recording, to the marketing of tape decks in the U.S. by the Ampex company, to Columbia's unveiling of its 12� LP, and the first long-playing record to be sold to consumers. The four selections contained here catapulted the Maestro Ellington into the LP era, as the great composer/arranger/pianist and his matchless orchestra took full advantage of the possibilities afforded by magnetic tape recording and the still-new 33 1/3 RPM LP to, for the first time, capture uncut concert arrangements of their signature songs. Duke was joined for this album by a virtuoso supporting cast: Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn (piano). Russell Procope, Paul Gonzalves, Johnnie Hodges, Jimmy Hamilton (saxophone). Nelson Williams, Andrew Ford, Harold Baker, Ray Nance, William Anderson (trumpet). Quentin Jackson, Lawrence Brown, Tyree Glenn (trombone). Mercer Ellington (horn). Sonny Greer (drums). Wendell Marshall (bass). Yvonne Lanauze (vocals). This album wouldn't have been possible without a chain of events starting at the end of World War II. Recorded in December 1950, just five years after Germany fell to the Allies, revealing the Germans' advances in magnetic tape recording, Ellington's master work holds its wonder still today and the recording quality hands-down betters the sound of many modern-day albums. Suddenly, for the first time in his career, Ellington was able to forgo the 3 minutes-and-change restrictions afforded by the short running time of the 78 RPM disc. He and his band rose to the occasion with extended (11-minute plus) 'uncut concert arrangements' of three of his signature songs - �Mood Indigo,� �Sophisticated Lady,� with evocative vocals by Yvonne Lanauze, as well as �Solitude.� Masterpieces was also notable for the debut of the full-bodied, surprise-laden �The Tattooed Bride,� and for the swansongs of three Ellintonian giants of longstanding: drummer Sonny Greer, trombonist Lawrence Brown and alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges (the latter two would eventually return to the fold). Masterpieces is a revelation and a throwback to a golden recording age. So much history and so much luck combined make this album truly special. 1. Mood Indigo 2. Sophisticated Lady 3.
