Two shows from 1965 in Copenhagen. Excellent B&W video, with excellent mono sound.
Duke was 65 at the time of this concert, and was certainly at the height of his powers. All the great soloists are here: Johnny Hodges, Cat Anderson, Cootie Williams, Jimmy Hamilton, Paul Gonsalves.
Highlights are Johnny Hodges solo during 'Passion Flower'. Cat Anderson solo during 'meow'.
All in all, a very enjoyable concert, complete with a stunning roster of soloists.
The one disturbing and, for me embarrassing thing for Duke during this concert, is Paul Gonsalves SLEEPING through 3 songs, with his horn in his mouth! I have never witnessed anything like this before, but Ellington, ignored him and let him snooze!
Aside from that, this is an amazing document of Ellington and his orchestra.
