(5 out of 5 stars)

"As the artist I obviously like the record, but the praise it has received from around the world has been wonderful. Here are some of the comments:


from Britain (1) - A luminous performance, on a par with any of Ellington's late suites.


from Australia - 70 minutes of glorious music.


from the US (1) - Marvellous and quite indispensable


from Canada - Rambunctious rhythms and spontaneous tumult suggestive of Mingus.


from Italy - A fitting celebration for his 70th birthday


from the US (2) - for once you finish listening to a 70-minute recording and wish there was more.


from Britain (2) - There is nothing in this staggering performance that sounds remotely dated or unadventurous.


from the US (3) - 'one of the most invigorating big band releases I've heard in quite some time.'
