The Duke finds the English singer/composer/arranger/keyboardist and five-time Grammy nominee Joe Jackson interpreting 15 Duke Ellington classics over the course of ten tracks, interspersing melodic and rhythmic elements of various compositions in a manner that's consistent with Ellington's own freewheeling approach. Rather than emulating the songs' original big-band settings, Jackson filters the material through his own musical imagination. Release Date: June 26, 2012. MORE HERE
It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) finds him trading vocals with punk icon Iggy Pop.
