Festival Session Limited edition
Duke Ellington
Part of *the Jean-Pierre Leloir 180 gram vinyl Collection*, in spite of its title, *Festival Session* is a studio album that primarily featured tunes **Duke** presented
at the *Newport* and *Playboy jazz festivals* during 1959. The 1956 *Newport Jazz Festival* (the third edition of that event), had proven to be essential for **Duke Ellington**’s career, which at the time was struggling due to the hardships of sustaining a big band.
*Festival Session* was given a fivestar rating in *Down Beat* by *Don DeMicheal*, who wrote, “What a wonderfully powerful yet subtle instrument is the **Ellington** band. The moods range from thundering jubilation through pixyish humor and satire to quiet reflection. By all means, listen to this.â€
