About this album
The Intimate Ellington shows Duke Ellington in a relaxed late-period setting, balancing graceful swing with the lyricism that made his writing so distinctive. Issued in 1977, it draws on Ellington’s long career of orchestral invention while favouring a more intimate feel, with small-group textures that highlight his piano, melodic elegance and refined ensemble writing. The album includes reworkings of signature material alongside newer pieces, giving the programme a subtle sense of reflection rather than spectacle. As ever, Ellington’s gift was for making sophistication feel effortless, and this record underlines why his music remained vital well into the modern jazz era.
