The new recording project from composer
Graham Reynolds,
DUKE! is a musical essay on the legacy of Duke Ellington.
Taking on the daunting song book of America's greatest
composer, Reynolds eschews the complex experimentation of his
recent film and dance scores for straightforward
arrangements built around his piano playing and propelled by the
Golden Arm Trio's explosive rhythm section and hard charging horn
section. The result is a fresh, accessible updating of some of
music's most enduring standards. The album and a national tour are
planned for 2009, with touring continuing through 2010.
