| | California Ballroom - Bands - Ray Ellington |
| | The quartet which drummer Ray Ellington led at the end of the 1940s was a compact unit which succeeded in blending the more melodic aspects of bebop with the kind of music associated with the Nat Cole Trio. | | | Ellington was a fine small-band drummer and an attractive vocalist, while Katz was a hugely underrated pianist with a penchant for Duke Ellington voicings and introductions. | | | The quartet specialised in attractive vocals and occasional novelty songs, but it was all underpinned by an infectious beat and fine solos all round. |

| | 1201 Music Presents Ellington, Duke - The Feeling Of Jazz |
| | In this version, both of the band's pianists can be heard, Ellington in the foreground and Strayhorn more distantly, but effectively on a "tack" piano. | | | The Feeling of Jazz, written 1962, served for several years as the theme of the radio show Mercer Ellington recorded this and vocal versions at the time, the only performances of the attractive number with John Coltrane and another with three violinists in Paris. | | | Hamilton was the band's clarinet virtuoso and he regarded the saxophone with something like contempt, but he played the "inferior" instrument in an earthy manner that was more acceptable to sections of the audience rather than the convoluted style of Paul Gonsalves. |

| | NPR's Jazz Profiles: Ray Brown |
| | During the early 1970s, Ray got to fulfill a lifelong dream and work with Duke Ellington just prior to the legendary band leader's death. | | | That small group was breaking the new ground of bebop, but Gillespie still had a big band to fill out and Ray's sound, intensity and precision fit perfectly. | | | The group remained together for nine years recording several albums. |

| | Amazon.com: Solos, Duets and Trios: Music |
| | Ellington was always modest about his pianistic ability, and the few albums he made featuring the piano are often criticised as insubstantial efforts. | | | Track 20 features some of Ellington's latterday stride along with a more typically rhapsodic central section, whilst the final track is a trio version of Ellington's familiar piano introduction, which comes to a halt just as one expects the orchestra to join in. | | | The heart of the CD is tracks 10 - 18, the classic Ellington - Blanton duets of 1941. |

| | Duke Ellington: Lesson 1 |
| | Ellington nicknamed Ray Nance "Floorshow" because of his talents with the trumpet, violin, and voice along with his skill as a dancer. | | | Largely written by Bubber Miley who joined Ellington's band in 1923, it is a variation on the blues, beginning in minor and modulating to major. | | | In Moon Mist, Ellington uses Nance to create different shadings and feelings in the music. |

| | Amazon.ca: High Drama: The Real Johnnie Ray [Import] [Best of]: Music |
| | Five tracks are drawn from Ray's 1957 album The Big Beat, which found him confronting the rock & roll trend, albeit with backing by orchestras led by Ray Ellis and Ray Conniff. | | | As its title suggests, this collection's thesis is that the former represents the highly dramatic sound of the "real" Johnnie Ray, and compilation producer Al Quaglieri supports that contention by using bluesy and rockish material, such as "Flip, Flop and Fly" and "Such a Night," songs later covered by Elvis Presley. | | | Oh!," recorded with the Les Elgart Orchestra, "The Lonely Ones," backed by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, and a live take of "Such a Night" from the London Palladium are given their first U.S. issue; and "I Want to Be Loved" and "I'll Make You Mine" are presented in stereo for the first time. |

| | Deep Discount CD |
| | Duke Ellington's brief tenure at Capitol Records (1953-55) is often dismissed by jazz historians who find fault with the sessions' lush, near-orchestral sound or who question the bandleader's decisions to re-record many of his '30s and '40s standards. | | | Ellington's 15-member band--featuring stalwarts Cat Anderson, Ray Nance, Paul Gonsalves and Harry Carney--plays with its usual brilliance, but producer Dave Dexter captures the orchestra with unusual warmth, creating a deep, radiant sound unusual for jazz. | | | Re-recordings of Ellington classics like "Black and Tan Fantasy," "Caravan" and a ten-minute "It Don't Mean A Thing" (featuring a lengthy and inspired tenor improvisation by Gonsalves) in new and often radically different arrangements are shown off to strong advantage in this new sonic ambience. |

| | Review of This One's for Blanton Reviews. Compare Consumer Reviews of Audio CD This One's for Blanton by Ojc Consumer ... |
| | Hearing Ellington and Brown together is an amazing experience, as you hear two master instrumentalists deliver the essence of songs normally associated with a full jazz orchestra. | | | The album was released a year after Duke's death, but with Ray Brown's passing it's a valedictory of sorts to the only bassist besides Blanton who would share a recording session with Duke exclusively. | | | And Ellington's genius, though merely referenced, is more evident on this session than on either of the recordings he made with Coltrane and Mingus/Roach. |
