While Barbara Hendricks is best known as one of the world's leading classical vocalists, she's also an accomplished jazz singer, and in this performance with the Monty Alexander Trio to pay homage to America's greatest jazz composer.
Angel's Tribute To Duke Ellington features loving interpretations of the jazz master's works from artists like Earl Hines, Cecil Taylor and Sir Roland Hanna. Randy Weston begins the album with a dedication to Ellington, then Hanna performs "Take The 'A' Train" and "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)." Jay McShann's "Satin Doll," Hines' "In My Solitude" and Taylor's "After All" add to this collection's worthiness. Review by Heather Phares
