Label: hat ART

If the music on this disc is any indication, Franz Koglmann understands Ellington as a vortex - a center of energy drawing in inspiration from a wide variety of sources (internal and external) and his compositions flowing out in so many directions. As a composer Koglmann makes use of many of these same sources and resources, including the stability of a regular cast of musicians, which enables him to compose for specific sounds and particular abilities as did Ellington, famously. ... Through intense interaction, Ellington's music breathes and changes and evolves. Ellington lives. Art Lange.
