One of my favorites from Duke. Classy, stately big band sounding focusing on the Blues, as its title suggests. The SACD from Mobile Fidelity puts Duke & His Orchestra right there with you in your living room. Great music for the late evening. There are some really terrific players in the Orchestra for this album including Clark Terry and Johnny Hodges, but for me Ray Nance steals the show with his violin at various points, particularly on "C Jam Blues." But this is just as good an ensemble as you're going to hear anywhere.
