Composing
Wayne Shorter once said “To hell with the rules, I’m going for the unknown”. This is what we did on this recording. No talks about tunes, keys, solos, tempos—as a matter of fact Jean-Michel and Marilyn hadn’t even played together before. We just started playing to see where the music would take us - and as you can hear it was quite a trip. We did two long sets and occasionally a tune would emerge - but most of the time we where in unchartered waters, taking us to places we haven’t been before. This is the ultimate way of improvising. Why then is the album called Composing? Well - Arnold Schoenberg also once said “Composing is improvisation slowed down”. This album is compositions in realtime. - Mads Vinding

An Intimate Piano Session
The scene is... 311 West 57 Street, New York, Mediasounds Studio A...the date...Friday, August 25th, 1972. Duke Ellington was having an engagement with a smaller group at The Rainbow Grill, as he had several times before, finishing the gig on the following night. But on the 25th, he chose also to go to the recording studio, just himself at the piano together with his two band singers, Anita Moore and Tony Watkins, to record some pieces which were not played so often. The recordings remained in his "stockpile" until now, this being the first commercial issue of these beautiful pieces. The late Sjef Hoefsmit wrote about the session when he heard it back in 1994: "It is difficult to understand why these magnificent recordings never have been issued". Well, here they are at last - for all to enjoy! Among the gems, listeners will find tracks such as two takes of the Billy Strayhorn composition "Lotus Blossom", the Duke's own "Le Sucrier Velours" and his emotional "My Mother, My Father and Love." The latter was often performed with the Duke himself as a vocalist, reciting his own lyrics. No doubt the words meant a great deal to him, both personally and as part of his positive stories about the black communities in the USA.
