Description: I revere the Duke, but I didnt want to make a reverent album, Joe Jackson says of The Duke, his new tribute to jazz legend Duke Ellington.
The Duke is indeed an unconventional salute to Ellington, demonstrating the timeless brilliance of his compositions while showcasing Jacksons skills as arranger, instrumentalist and singer. Though its his second album of non-original material (after 1981s Jumpin Jive) its nonetheless a deeply personal project for Jackson, whose affinity for Ellington has been an inspiration throughout his own three-decade-plus career.
