Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail
Duke Ellington Kyle Etges Signature Recordings Cottontail. Cottontail stands as a fine example of Ellington’s “Blanton-Webster” years, where the band was at its peak in performance and popularity. The “Blanton-Webster” moniker refers to bassist Jimmy Blanton and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, who recorded Cottontail on May 4th, 1940 alongside Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Chauncey Haughton, and Harry Carney on saxophone; Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones, and Ray Nance on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Juan Tizol, Joe Nanton, and Lawrence Brown on trombone; Fred Guy on guitar, Duke on piano, and Sonny Greer on drums. John Hasse, author of The Life and Genius of Duke Ellington, states that Cottontail “opened a window on the future, predicting elements to come in jazz.” Indeed, Jimmy Blanton’s driving quarter-note feel throughout the piece predicts a collective gravitation away from the traditional two feel amongst modern bassists. Webster’s solo on this record is so iconic that audiences would insist on note-for-note renditions of it in live performances. Even now, it stands as a testament to Webster’s mastery of expression, predicting techniques and patterns that John Coltrane would use decades later. Ellington also shows off his Harlem stride credentials in a quick solo before going into an orchestrated sax soli, one of the first of its kind. After a blaring shout chorus, the piece recalls the A section before Harry Carney caps everything off with the droning tonic. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue. This piece is remarkable for two reasons: Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue exemplifies Duke’s classical influence, and his desire to write more grandiose pieces with more extended forms. -

PROGRAM NOTES by David Niemeyer You may not be familiar with the name Aldemaro Romero, but you have probably heard his work many times over several decades. He worked with non-classical musicians including Dean Martin, Jerry Lee Lewis, Stan Kenton, and Tito Puente. In addition, Romero was a classical musician who was a guest conductor for the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the Royal Phil- harmonic Orchestra, and he founded the Caracas Philharmonic Orchestra. As a composer, Romero stuck to his Venezuelan roots, as evidenced by the Quartet for Saxophones. -

Op 48 Siegfried Idyll Richard Wagner (1830-1883) In most books about chamber music, Wagner appears, in some cases somewhat dismissively, as a reference point and influence on others, rather than a subject of study. Siegfried Idyll was written to be played on Christmas day 1870 in the most domestic of situations, to give his waking wife a joint 33rd birthday and Christmas present in gratitude for their baby who shared the opera hero’s name and it was performed on the stairs of their home.
