"I've been so impressed with these albums since I got them … for me as a lover of jazz piano, the reproduction of the piano is really really important. … Really and truly these are two exceptionally well-recorded albums and Analogue Productions have done in my opinion an excellent job of repressing and remastering these albums on really super quiet vinyl. They're absolutely wonderful." — Mike's Vinyl Experience, YouTube video
An outstanding Pablo pressing (A++ sound) featuring jazz piano legend Duke Ellington at the helm of a small group session with Joe Pass on guitar, Ray Brown on bass, and Louie Bellson on drums, recorded in January 1973 and released in 1974. Considered a timeless classic, Duke's Big 4 is described by AllMusic as "One of Duke Ellington's finest small group sessions from his final decade … Ellington's percussive style always sounded modern and here he comes up with consistently strong solos. … Highly recommended."
Mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is everything jazz fans expect from an audiophile reissue. Housed in a single pocket Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket.
