Jazz Party, a 1959 album by jazz legend Duke Ellington, contains a "formidable gallery of jazz stars" guesting, including Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy Rushing (formerly the vocalist for Count Basie), Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves.[1] It was reissued in CD in 1997 on the Mobile Fidelity label.
Critical reception
Described as "an example of the ever-surprising repertoire...characteristic of late Ellington",[2] Jazz Party has been praised particularly for its unique percussion pieces.[3][4] Village Voice reviewer Gary Giddins indicated that the percussion song "Malletoba Spank" "will rattle in your brain until you die".[5] The multi-part "Toot Suite" has been described as intriguing,[2] though underrated, featuring strong statements from Ellington regulars and guests.[3] Dizzy Gillespie's guest solo on "U.M.M.G." attracts much attention as well, and has been labeled both "enterprising" and "inspired".[3][2]
