Duke Ellington's career was at a high point in early 1965, when he was constantly creating new works (often in collaboration with Billy Strayhorn) and had retained many of his most valuable soloists (including the entire sax section, intact since Johnny Hodges' return in 1956), plus trumpeters Cootie Williams, Cat Anderson, and Ray Nance. This nearly two-hour long DVD, originally videotaped for Danish TV, preserves almost all of the concert as performed (omitting several numbers which may not have been taped). The band was fresh and relaxed after coming to Europe to tour a few days earlier, so all of the soloists are in great form and the ensembles are potent as well. There are numerous highlights. A dazzling treatment of the fairly new composition "Ad Lib on Nippon" (which had not yet appeared on record), features Ellington with bassist John Lamb and Jimmy Hamilton's thrilling clarinet. Tenor saxist Paul Gonsalves shines in the ballad "Chelsea Bridge" and in his turbulent reprise of his famous Newport Jazz Festival solo in "Blow by Blow," though he is inexplicably passed out with his sax in his mouth during the rousing "Perdido." Cat Anderson shares his high note theatrics in "Meow," while veteran trumpeter Cootie Williams' gutbucket mute work is on display in "Tootie for Cootie." Johnny Hodges, considered by Ellington as one of his most important soloists, has a trio of features, punctuated by "Jeep's Blues." Trumpeter Ray Nance, returning for his final hurrah with the band, adds several brief solos and sings in the jive vocal number "He Huffed 'n' He Puffed," a number retired from the book following this concert. Also not to be missed is composer Billy Strayhorn's turn at the piano on the complete version of his "Take the 'A' Train."
Recorded at the Falkoner Centret, Copenhagen, Denmark, 31st January 1965

Duke Ellington
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) was an American composer, pianist and bandleader of a jazz orchestra. He led his orchestra from 1923 until his death, his career spanning over 50 years.
Born in Washington, D.C., Ellington was based in New York City from the mid-1920s onward, and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club in Harlem. In the 1930s, his orchestra toured in Europe. Though widely considered to have been a pivotal figure in the history of jazz, Ellington embraced the phrase "beyond category" as a liberating principle, and referred to his music as part of the more general category of American Music, rather than to a musical genre such as jazz.
Some of the musicians who were members of Ellington's orchestra, such as saxophonist Johnny Hodges, are considered to be among the best players in jazz. Ellington melded them into the best-known orchestral unit in the history of jazz. Some members stayed with the orchestra for several decades. A master at writing miniatures for the three-minute 78 rpm recording format, Ellington often composed specifically to feature the style and skills of his individual musicians.

Duke Ellington - Copenhagen - 1965. Parts One and Two - LIVE!
Duke Ellington's career was at a high point in early 1965, when he was constantly creating new works (often in collaboration with Billy Strayhorn) and had retained many of his most valuable soloists (including the entire sax section, intact since Johnny Hodges' return in 1956), plus trumpeters Cootie Williams, Cat Anderson, and Ray Nance. This nearly two-hour long DVD, originally videotaped for Danish TV, preserves almost all of the concert as performed (omitting several numbers which may not have been taped). The band was fresh and relaxed after coming to Europe to tour a few days earlier, so all of the soloists are in great form and the ensembles are potent as well. There are numerous highlights.

A dazzling treatment of the fairly new composition "Ad Lib on Nippon" (which had not yet appeared on record), features Ellington with bassist John Lamb and Jimmy Hamilton's thrilling clarinet. Tenor saxist Paul Gonsalves shines in the ballad "Chelsea Bridge" and in his turbulent reprise of his famous Newport Jazz Festival solo in "Blow by Blow," though he is inexplicably passed out with his sax in his mouth during the rousing "Perdido." Cat Anderson shares his high note theatrics in "Meow," while veteran trumpeter Cootie Williams' gutbucket mute work is on display in "Tootie for Cootie." Johnny Hodges, considered by Ellington as one of his most important soloists, has a trio of features, punctuated by "Jeep's Blues." Trumpeter Ray Nance, returning for his final hurrah with the band, adds several brief solos and sings in the jive vocal number "He Huffed 'n' He Puffed," a number retired from the book following this concert. Also not to be missed is composer Billy Strayhorn's turn at the piano on the complete version of his "Take the 'A' Train."

Duke Ellington
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) was an American composer, pianist and bandleader of a jazz orchestra. He led his orchestra from 1923 until his death, his career spanning over 50 years.
Born in Washington, D.C., Ellington was based in New York City from the mid-1920s onward, and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club in Harlem. In the 1930s, his orchestra toured in Europe. Though widely considered to have been a pivotal figure in the history of jazz, Ellington embraced the phrase "beyond category" as a liberating principle, and referred to his music as part of the more general category of American Music, rather than to a musical genre such as jazz.
Some of the musicians who were members of Ellington's orchestra, such as saxophonist Johnny Hodges, are considered to be among the best players in jazz. Ellington melded them into the best-known orchestral unit in the history of jazz. Some members stayed with the orchestra for several decades. A master at writing miniatures for the three-minute 78 rpm recording format, Ellington often composed specifically to feature the style and skills of his individual musicians.

In my solitude you haunt me
with reveries of days gone by
in my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
i sit in my chair
filled with despair
nobody could be so sad
with gloom ev'rywhere
i sit and i stare
i know that i'll soon go mad
in my solitude
i'm praying
dear lord above
send back my love
alternative lyric:
in my solitude you haunt me
with reveries of days gone by
in my solitude you taunt me
with memories that never die
i sit in my chair
i'm filled with despair
there's no one could be so sad
with gloom ev'rywhere
i sit and i stare
i know that i'll soon go mad
in my solitude
i'm praying
dear lord above
send back my love
