Jazz Memorial: Les Génies du Jazz: Duke Ellington - Au Temps du Cotton Club.

Der Punkt ist simpel: Für die Entwicklung der Populärmusik war Duke Ellington samt seinem Orchester wichtiger als Synth Pop, Dubstep, House und die Scorpions zusammen genommen. Das ist nun mal so. Er hat wegweisende Musik im Jahr 1928 aufgenommen und was er 1971 einspielte (Afro-Eurasian Eclipse), war auch stark. Und Ellington war so gut, dass er sich den Luxus leisten konnte, bis zu seinem Lebensende 1974 eine Band zu haben, die SEINE Kompositionen spielen konnte (das war sein Ziel). So was wird es nicht wieder geben. Ist das schlimm? Schade auf jeden Fall. Und Gott sei Dank war er schon 1928 einflussreich genug, um darauf bestehen zu können, dass seine Musik mit der besten verfügbaren Aufnahmetechnik protokolliert wurde.
