Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
「私の楽器はオーケストラだ」。作編曲家、ビッグバンドのリーダーとして、ジャズを芸術の域まで高めた真の巨人、デューク・エリントン。彼が率いるビッグバンドの中でもエリントンのピアノは目玉のひとつではあったが、セロニアス・モンクやセシル・テイラーなどにも影響を与えたという豪快なピアノ・スタイルは、やはり本盤のようなトリオでないとなかなか伝わらない。
まさにジャズ界のオールスター・トリオだが、エリントンとの年齢差は20歳以上。本盤に参加するベースのチャールス・ミンガス、ドラムスのマックス・ローチは、黒人としてのアイデンティティを音楽に持ち込む姿勢も含めて、直系の信奉者といっていい。ビッグネームの名前で売ろうなどというイージーな企画では、決してないのだ。書く曲の美しさとは対照的な荒々しいピアノに、ガンガンと突っ込んでくるベース。クールに正確なビートをたたき込んでくるドラム。この3人ならではのピアノ・トリオである。（高木宏真）

Amazon.com essential recording
What an alliance: a legendary bandleader and composer, a pioneering bop drummer, and an unclassifiable (and often prickly) bass behemoth. It's no wonder that the tension between Duke Ellington, Max Roach, and Charlie Mingus is thick and extremely tangible, permeating this breathtaking 1962 album with passion and aggression. On the jagged blues "Very Special," Ellington establishes a weighty mood while his piano work almost borders on free jazz. Roach's sticks dance and prance across every inch of his kit on "A Little Max"; on "Caravan" he effectively shifts from exotic rhythms to straight time. Duke's harmonic invention is delicate and mysterious on "Fleurette Africaine," but simultaneously jarring and cerebral on the confrontational "Wig Wise." It's hard to believe only three people are creating the stomping, disjointed monster that is the title track. Ellington alone emphasizes the beautiful melodies of the classic ballads "Soltitude" and "Warm Valley," but the edge returns when the rhythm section joins him. Mingus, who actually idolized Ellington, seems to be purposely agitating the master, almost taunting him. You'd say the synergy was magical, except that they seem to be working against each other. --Marc Greilsamer
