Ella & Duke at The Cote D'Azur

VINYL FORMAT. Mosaic's 3 LP re-release of Ella & Duke at the Cote D'Azur on 180-gram vinyl recalls the event for a new generation of listeners. It is a re-release of the original 2-LP set, plus the Ellington album Soul Call issued from the same concerts. Essentially, our set presents everything that was chosen, approved and released by the producer and the artists at the time. The concert format presented Ellington and Ella together with the orchestra; the orchestra alone without vocals; and Ella with a sometimes stripped-down version of the orchestra, but mostly accompanied by the Jimmy Jones Trio. The set includes 20 compositions, an historical analysis and track by track breakdown by Brian Preistly, plus many rarely seen photographs. Limited edition of 5000.
