DUKE ELLINGTON - CLAUDE BOLLING , BOLLING PLAYS ELLINGTON

Un ï¿½Big bandï¿½ français et cohérent, cï¿½est le pari difficile et réussi par Claude Bolling. Supporté, il est vrai, par 21 des plus grands succès du Duke. Les sonorités du Bollingï¿½s Band rappellent épisodiquement les plus grands big bands : Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman et, bien sûr, Duke Ellington. Des références qui ne trompent pas. Cet hommage au Duke est agrémenté de clins dï¿½ï¿½il enjoués, comme ces imitations de Johnny Hodges, le saxo fétiche dï¿½Ellington (Magenta Haze), et de Benny Goodman (Rockinï¿½ in rhythm) par Claude Tissendier.
