Album Artist
Play ButtonBamboo-Na 2 Shakuhachi : Mitsuhashi Kifu
The blind genius Stevie Wonder is among those who praise Duke Ellington, calling him "Sir Duke". Playing the piano himself, Duke Ellington with his band attracted many fans over a long period. Also, after Duke Ellington passed away the band remained, proof that it stood at the top of the Big Bands. The band left many hit songs, but this one, Red Shoes, is a standard number whose melody brings out the attraction of the Shakuhachi so much so that it seems to have been written for the instrument. It is arranged, of course, Bamboo- Na style.
