It could have been Harlem's Cotton
Club, 1935 almost. Instead it was
Chapel Hill's Memorial Hall, 1975. And
though the mild-mannered Duke was
absent Tuesday night, his famed
orchestra now led by son and former
trumpet section member Mercer
recalled some of the music that made the
world proclaim, "We love you madly."
But unlike Duke's Cotton Club days
(where he opened in December 1927),
Tuesday's crowd was young and
predominantly white. White folk in
Ellington's early days just didn't listen to
that primitive Negro "jungle stuff; such
music was sold only as "race records" to
a black audience. But these young
Chapel Hillians had come to hear the
oldies and so they did.
Mercer uses the band which he
inherited from his late father as a
showcase for the old and the new in big
band jazz. The instrumentation is the
same as it was in the 30's, with the
addition of a fifth sax man.
Conspicuous changes include the use of
soprano sax and flugelhorns, and the
electrification of the guitar (played by
Mercer's son, Edward Ellington II).
Old Ellington favorites included
"Take the A Train," "Satin Doll,"
"Black and Tan Fantasy,"
"Sophisticated Lady," and "Mood
Indigo." It was refreshing to hear a
modern big band capture so well the
sound of its forerunners.
Duke was known for his top-quality
sidemen and the longevity of his
orchestras. The present-day band
members show respect for the band's
heritage, at times paying apparent
tribute to their predecessors: one could
sometimes imagine that Art Baron's
plungered trombone was that of Tricky
Sam Nanton, the growling trumpet of
lead man Willie Singleton belonged to
Bubber Miley, and the warm breathy
tenor in "All Too Soon" was not some
young'un named Ricky Ford, but Ben
Webster himself.
Still, jazz has gone places since the big
band era and the Ellington ensemble has
kept pace with the times. A good deal of
modal, dizzying and distinctly modern
improvisation was played, most notably
by Ricky Ford and flugelhornist Barry
Hall. Modern big-band arrangements
were offered took including the
rolicking, brassy "Jump for Joy."
Crowd response reached a zenith in
several spots, once following a
Dixieland rendition of "Saints" which
closed out'the concert's first half. Lloyd
Mayers' piano work displayed a
combination of the Duke's light touch,
then a style reminiscent of Erroll Garner
and finally ended with a succession of
frantic pounding chords. Sandwiched in
between was a demonstration of
everything the double-bass can do and
then some by J. J. Wiggins. Energetic
tom-tom work by Rocky White during
"Caravan" sent slivers of drumstick
flying like sparks across the stage.
Rounding out the performance was a
number of slow ballads, often featuring
the tender alto of Harold Minerve, and a
few vocal renditions by Anita Moore
(who braved a notably deficient mike).
Mercer, who is a showman in his own
right, bears a remarkable resemblance
in both appearance and manner to his
father. Stepping slightly to the music,
quietly offering an occasional joke,
vocally encouraging the soloists and
even "bumping" with Anita, his smile,
like his father's, never faded.
