Midnight In Paris (180G VINYL LP) Artist: DUKE ELLINGTON Format: LP Bar-code: 5060348582199 Cat No: NOTLP219£13.99 Duke Ellington was completely enamoured with Paris, and it seemed that the city – which had always provided a haven for American jazz musicians seeking freedom in their lives and work – loved Ellington in return. In 1973, French President Georges Pompidou awarded Duke Ellington France’s highest honour, the Legion of Honour, nominating the bandleader as “a great musician, a great American and a great friend of our country.” True on all counts. Discover Paris with this LP including “Mademoiselle De Paris” “Guitar Amour” and “The River Seine”.

Review: Wonderful songs and Excellent Quiet Pressing - Duke wrote two of the songs and adapted Javapachacha (Apache) for the band while Billy Strayhorn wrote “A Midnight in Paris”. All the rest of the tunes are wonderfully played in the Ellington band style even though, according to album notes, Duke was absent for some with Billy Strayhorn on the piano. I love Duke’s compositions which are few but the feeling of the album is still fully Ellington. The “Not Now” pressing is great , 180 grams, and quiet. I should also mention the A-1 packaging the seller (Mediapolis) did so the vinyl came safely- double boxing and bubble wrap: thank you!
