John Harle - The Shadow Of The Duke

The Music of Duke Ellington performed by saxophonist John Harle alongside pianists Richard Rodney Bennett and Stan Tracey, Paul Jones on harmonica, vocalist Sarah Leonard and trumpeters Derek Watkins and Henry Lowther, drummer Clark Tracey and others.

John Harle understands both the jazz and classical traditions, and is brilliant at getting musicians of different backgrounds to work creatively together. All that makes Shadow of the Duke a completely different kind of tribute album. - John Fordham, The Guardian
