Description

[Machine Translation] Duke Ellington's previously unreleased material recorded in Germany in 1970 by the very famous German rock producer Connie Plank is now available on CD! It is a miracle that Ellington's high quality unreleased works are being discovered at this time! The undeniable giant Duke Ellington, known for his work with Kraftwerk, Noi! and Eurhythmics, it is hard for those who know both Duke Ellington and Conny Plank to believe that they were recorded by the German producer, Conny Plank. The six tracks, three takes each of "Alerado" and "Afrique," are not simply different takes, as is often the case with reissues, but are completely different. The tempo is different, solo instruments are switched, and soprano vocals are featured on the last take of "Afrique". Both "Alerado," a strait-forward swing number featuring Wild Bill Davis on organ and Cat Anderson on trumpet, and "Afrique," a freer, more avant-garde approach, are very interesting. The exact recording date is unknown, and the female vocals are said to belong to either Mrs. Connie Plank or Ellington's Scandinavian mistress, but both are of great musical and historical value. A must for fans of both.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ザ・コニー・プランク・セッション / デューク・エリントン&ヒズ・オーケストラ

巨人デューク・エリントンが、1970 年にドイツでロックの世界では非常に有名なプロデューサー、コニー・プランクの録音で残していた未発表作品がCD化!この時代にエリントンの高品質の未発表作品が発掘されるのはまさに奇跡! 説明不要の巨人デューク・エリントンが、クラフトワークやノイ!、ユーリズミックス等で知られるドイツのプロデューサー、コニー・プランクの録音で残していた作品ということだけでも、双方を知る人は信じられない思いを抱くだろう。「Alerado」と「Afrique」の2 曲、各3 テイクずつの全6 曲ながら、リイシューにありがちな単なる別テイクとはまったく違う。テンポも違い、ソロ楽器も入れ替わったりしている上に、「Afrique」の最後のテイクではソプラノ・ヴォーカルもフィーチャーされているのだ。ワイルド・ビル・デイヴィスのオルガンとキャット・アンダーソンのトランペットをフィーチャーしたストレイトフォワードなスウィング・ナンバー「Alerado」、よりフリーでアヴァンギャルドなアプローチの「Afrique」ともにじつに興味深い。正確な録音日は不明、コニー・プランク夫人のものともエリントンのスカンジナビアの愛人のものとも言われる女性ヴォーカル等、謎の多い作品ながらも、音楽的にも歴史的にも非常に大きな価値のあるものと言える。どちらのファンも必聴。
