Recorded in two live sessions about a week apart in February of 1959, JAZZ PARTY covers a lot of ground. Duke's late-'50s band included veterans like Johnny Hodges and Harry Carney in the reed section, as well as newer but equally esteemed musicians such as Clark Terry (trumpet) and tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves. Four of the cuts here make up the "Toot Suite," where, in typical Ellington fashion, various members of the orchestra are featured in turn as soloists. JAZZ PARTY also features an ensemble of nine symphony percussionists on two cuts. The "in stereo" part of the title is justified by the claim that these recordings take advantage of stereo imaging to reproduce the original concert experience of hearing an array of vibes, xylophones, tympani and other percussion stretching from one end of the stage to the other. Bebop icon/trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie sits in for a tune, as does Jimmy Rushing; the Duke's impressionistic swing makes a fine foil for stone modernist and Kansas City blues belter alike.
