Duke Ellington let his orchestra loosen its tie on Blues In Orbit, a 1960 Columbia album of after-hours blues, here on limited edition 180 gram vinyl as a Spanish import with two bonus tracks.
Most of Ellington's records from this period were grand suites and conceptual works. This one is different. Recorded mainly in late-night sessions in 1959, it catches the band stretching out on short, swinging blues pieces, with Ellington and Billy Strayhorn feeding the soloists fresh material and the musicians clearly having fun.
Three J's Blues opens the set, a Jimmy Hamilton tune with a relaxed, rolling feel that shows off the band's effortless swing. C Jam Blues gets a lively, extended workout, the simple riff becoming a launchpad for a string of soloists.
Sweet And Pungent, a Strayhorn piece, brings sly harmonic twists and a lush ensemble sound, while the title track Blues In Orbit floats along with a cool, slightly otherworldly glow. Throughout, the rhythm section keeps everything buoyant and the horns trade lines like old friends.
Blues In Orbit may lack the fame of Ellington's suites, but it offers something rarer: the greatest big band in jazz caught in a loose, playful mood. For lovers of swing and the blues, it rewards repeat visits.
