Shipp introduces the album with “Prelude to Duke,” 44 seconds of unaccompanied
piano in which he may be ruminating on Ellington’s 1953 solo recording
“Reflections in D.” Then Shipp, bassist Michael Bisio and drummer Whit Shipp To
DukeDickey transport the listener to Ellingtonia proper with “In a Sentimental
Mood.” Shipp concentrates on melodies—Ellington’s and those the pianist
creates—while Bisio plays free counterpoint, Dickey layers cymbal splashes on
brushed snare drum patterns and Shipp minds the outline of the song. Abetted by
the ESP of Bisio’s and Dickey’s reactions, Shipp’s time displacement rules
“Satin Doll.” The trio takes “the ’A’ Train” on a wild ride breathtakingly
close to, but not over, the edge of coherence. So it goes through seven Ellington
pieces and four compatible Shipp originals. Riveting stuff by three extraordinary
musicians finely attuned to Ellington but, most of all, to one another.
