Live in Swing City: Swingin with the Duke

by Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis

Overview

This workmanlike disc by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra features Wynton Marsalis in a tribute to Duke Ellington. The question is, do they pay tribute to anyone else? The performance is fine, but a little rote, turning the master's work into dogma. Hardly a tribute. ~ Tim Sheridan
