Also, this LP explodes the critical line that the early ’50s was a relatively fallow period for the Duke; any of these smoking, concert-length tracks will torpedo that notion. The young Louis Bellson was powering the Ellington band at that time, and his revolutionary double-bass drum technique and rare ability to build coherent drum solos are put to astounding use on his self-penned leadoff track, “Skin Deep,” which was quite a demonstration piece for audiophiles at the time. Old favorites from the Ellington hit parade are given extended treatments, with singer Betty Roche taking the A-train for a bebop-flavored ride, “The Mooche” spotlighting clarinetists Jimmy Hamilton and Russell Procope, and Ellington’s boogie-woogie piano kicking off a super-charged “Perdido” for trumpeter Clark Terry. The centerpiece of the disc is a sharply drawn, idiomatically swinging, probably unbeatable performance of “A Tone Parallel to Harlem” that lays waste to any of the “symphonic” versions that turn up frequently at pop concerts. Another feature of this record is the great sound quality, a benefit of being entrusted to Columbia’s best engineers. If you can locate an original Masterworks pressing, grab it and run, for the first-generation sound is astonishing for its age (the reissues in the 1980s on CD and LP had to rely upon later masterings and do not sound nearly as powerful as the original) – Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide.     Тех. информация Technical Details: SACDs are ripped to ISO using v0.21 of the greatness that is the SACD Ripper by Mr_Wicked. The 24/88.2 FLACs were using with Geo_log’s ‘MCHsacdISOs2FLACs’ script. A great time saver that is much appreciated. Each SACD is hand cleaned and demagnetized before ripping — sometimes I even add a little snake oil to the disc edges just for fun.

Logs for the rips and conversions are also included.     От меня: Громадное спасибо Mr_Wicked и всем ребятам с PS3SACD за их труд и этот диск!
