ROSEMARY CLOONEY & DUKE ELLINGTON Blue Rose (2006 UK limited edition 11-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL, originally released in 1956; Duke's music was always very sophisticated and this time it's even more obvious with the presence of such a talented singer as Rosemary Clooney, this is not big, belting jazz - this is sophisticated, late night, intimate singing and playing, and one of the most memorable pairings of a 'popular' singer with a jazz giant, rankingwith the first Sinatra-Basie album and the Coltrane-Hartman session, presented in sealed picture sleeve)
