"Duke Ellington-Ellington '66-1965 US":
"Ellington '66" is an album by American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington recorded and released on the Reprise label in 1965. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Jazz Performance - Large Group or Soloist with Large Group in 1966.
"Ellington '66" is another example of how the change in popular music toward an all rock & roll format found jazz musicians attempting crossover material with varying degrees of success. While much of the music here is standard American Popular Song à la "Satin Doll" and "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," other tracks such as the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" are clearly attempts at reaching a younger record-buying audience.
Recorded at Fine Studios, New York on May 19, 1964 (tracks 2, 3, 8 & 9), January 19, 1965 (tracks 4, 7, 10 & 11) and January 21, 1965 (tracks 1, 5, 6 & 12).
