"Bing Crosby, the legendary crooner with a voice as smooth as velvet, pays a heartfelt tribute to the timeless compositions of Duke Ellington on this 1977 release. 'A Tribute To Duke' is a delightful collection of jazz standards, showcasing Crosby's unparalleled vocal prowess and his ability to breathe new life into classic tunes. The album features a mix of well-known tracks like 'In A Sentimental Mood' and 'It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing,' as well as lesser-known gems that highlight the depth of Ellington's musical genius. With a runtime of just 36 minutes, this concise yet captivating album is a testament to the enduring appeal of both Crosby and Ellington. Recorded under the Concord Jazz label, this release is a must-listen for fans of traditional pop and jazz, offering a sophisticated and elegant listening experience that transcends generations."
