About this album
Ellington ’65 shows Duke Ellington turning 1960s pop and standards into supple big-band arrangements. Released in 1964, the album finds Ellington working through contemporary favourites such as Hello, Dolly!, Fly Me To The Moon and I Left My Heart In San Francisco, alongside pieces like Blowin’ In The Wind and The Peking Theme. Rather than treating these songs as novelty covers, Ellington reframes them with orchestra colour, rhythmic lift and his unmistakable harmonic sophistication. It is a fine example of how he kept the big-band format fresh in a changing pop era, balancing elegance, wit and mainstream appeal.
