About 100 years ago, Duke Ellington began his impressive musical career in 1920s New York. In addition to his countless well-known standards, he wrote almost 2000 compositions. Ellington has always been an innovator who could bridge the gap between the blues and the avant-garde. Ranging from the dance music of the early 1920s, which he performed at the "Cotton club" in Harlem, to suites and longer compositions that are more close to contemporary classical music, numerous recordings for smaller ensembles and solo piano work. Today Backback will be working on the project “DEUK” with a selection of his lesser known work. So no “satin doll”, think rather of obscure titles such as “Oclupaca” from the “Latin-American suite”, “Chinoiserie” from “Afro eurasian eclipse”, or “Anatomy of a murder” from the film score of the same name. The Bigband arrangements make way for the essentials, and this with the proven no-nonsense approach that we are used to from Backback. Backback's new album will be consisting of a few hidden gems from Ellington's oeuvre. This will be the fifth album in the 20-year existence of Backback, the trio that still blows a breath of fresh air through the Flemish jazz landscape.Filip Wauters - el guitar, baritone guitar
