Pierwsze, legendarne nagranie kompozycji Ellingtona po jego wielkiej podróży na Bliski i Daleki Wschód. If anything influenced Duke Ellington’s compositions over and over again, it was the impressions and the images he took home with him from his concert tours around the world. In the Sixties, the record company RCA gave him the opportunity to set down these impressions in music and the result is the present "Far East Suite", his most convincing work for large orchestra. The 1963 tour took him from Damascus to Kabul and New Delhi, to Bombay and Ankara, and only the Duke knew how to capture such diverse impressions in music. And only such soloists as Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves and Lawrence Brown right up to Harry Carney were capable of spinning out the ideas which Ellington conjured up on the piano. "Isfahan", the Pearl of Persia, was full of 'poetry', as the Duke himself put it and Johnny Hodges certainly knows how to underline this view in his soulful, smooth and velvety solo. In "Depk" Jimmy Hamilton and Harry Carney bring to our mind’s eye the dance of six boys and girls. "Mount Harissa", a mountain outside Beirut, is portrayed by Paul Gonsalves, while "Amad" with its ornamentation gives Lawrence Brown the opportunity for a solo. In "Agra", Harry Carney’s baritone sax leads us through the famous Taj Mahal. To close the LP, "Ad Lib On Nippon" presents an impression of the people of Tokyo and so we come to the end of our journey through several cultures in the Near and Far East - countries full of poetry and glorious impressions. There’s no place for war and destruction in these compositions by Duke Ellington.
