There is notes and strong colour and form , i like all the abstraction here . Abstraction , usually seen as distanced , and thereīs the text : SO CLOSE , - thatīs the way of poetry - .
Oh man, "Money Jungle" - I have to get that out and listen to it. I think I've bought it two or three times as it's changed formats and been updated with extra tracks. Those three are so good together - Ellington could hang with anybody!
Did you know that Mingus got mad in the middle of the session and was storming out in rage, and that Ellington got down on his knees (metaphorically maybe) and begged him to come back. Ellington!
