Ellington Uptown is the 1952 album by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, originally released in the 10" format. This is taken from the 2004 Columbia Legacy Edition, featuring bonus material.
Principally recorded at Liederkranz Hall and Columbia's 30th St. Studios, New York, New York in 1947 & 1951-52. Originally released on Columbia (4639). This release blends the original 1952 ELLINGTON UPTOWN album with recordings made by a previous Ellington lineup in 1947. After World War Two and the advent of television had effectively put an end to the big band era, large bands like Duke Ellington's survived by performing more cerebral music for non-dancing audiences. Thoughtful, occasionally humorous pieces like "Before My Time" and "Later," both parts of the "Controversial Suite," were the result, but Ellington's outfit was still capable of turning on the musical pyrotechnics, as Louis Bellson's drum vehicle, "Skin Deep," attests. Ellington's perennial "The Mooche," which he performed from his Cotton Club days in Harlem through the end of his career, is another highlight, as is trombonist Juan Tizol's exotic "Perdido." Bellson and Tizol had both been poached from Harry James's orchestra immediately prior to the 1952 recording, and Bellson in particular brings a revitalizing energy to these arrangements
