Review by Holly Hayes

Giants of the Big Band Era by Duke Ellington is a timeless classic that captures the essence of the big band era. The album features some of the most iconic jazz standards of the time, including "Take the 'A' Train," "Mood Indigo," and "Sophisticated Lady."

Ellington's arrangements are masterful, showcasing the talents of his orchestra and highlighting the unique qualities of each instrument. The brass section is particularly impressive, with crisp, powerful notes that punctuate the melodies. The saxophones are smooth and soulful, while the rhythm section keeps the beat steady and relentless.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." Ellington's playful vocals and infectious swing rhythm make this song an instant classic. Another highlight is "Perdido," a Latin-inspired tune that showcases the orchestra's versatility and range.
