Angel's Tribute To Duke Ellington features loving interpretations of the jazz master's works from artists like Earl Hines, Cecil Taylor and Sir Roland Hanna. Randy Weston begins the album with a dedication to Ellington, then Hanna performs "Take The 'A' Train" and {"I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)."} Jay McShann's "Satin Doll," Hines' "In My Solitude" and Taylor's "After All" add to this collection's worthiness. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
