Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
This was Duke's first full-length movie soundtrack commission, Otto Preminger's 1959 dark courtroom drama providing ample scope for sweeping dramatic contrast. Here, the original 35-minute LP is augmented by over 40 minutes of rare, hitherto unreleased bits and pieces, ranging from mono and stereo single versions of the main title theme to a DJ-only Ellington interview mock-up, from an incongruous Dixieland sextet to a gargling strangulation scene. The main body contains a surfeit of hard-boiled horn-bruising, sleazy, sexual small talk transformed into precision scoring, repeatedly stopping short for a beguiling interlude or two, none more impressive than "Low Key Lightly", with its aching Ray Nance violin solo, a completely naked sound. Duke frequently switches palettes to striking effect, the celeste chimes of "Midnight Indigo" shimmering against Harry Carney's froggy bass clarinet, "Sunswept Sunday" offering a churchy, pastoral wander, "Grace Valse" spinning gracefully, eyes closed. The whole shebang ends with Cat Anderson's stunning high-note spits on "Upper And Outest", attaining a spine-tingling level rarely heard, even on the trumpet. As a further goad, the crammed booklet boasts some anally-obsessive session details, an engaging appreciation from Wynton Marsalis and a structural analysis from Phil Schaap. --Martin Longley
