Nothing pleases the straight-ahead jazz fan more than a long set of well-known and obscured classics played with integrity, soul, and swing by an ensemble of tight musicians, and this fills that bill in spades. Recorded over three days at a studio in Hamburg, the trumpeter and his merry men roll hard and brassy over the feisty rhythms of Christian Ramond (bass) and Oliver Mewes (drums) on such gems as "Beyond the Blue Horizon" and the Lionel Hampton-Charlie Christian classic "Haven't Named It Yet." There's lots of variety and joyful mood-swinging between the New Orleans-flavored "Four or Five Times" (with Engelbert Wrobel's whimsical clarinet) and the lighthearted, muted trumpet-driven romance "Dreamy Mood." The recording derives its name from its inclusion of two Duke Ellington classics, which give pianist Chris Hopkins (who wrote the colorful liner notes) some strong moments to shine: the mysterious "Echoes of Harlem" and the perky "Drop Me off in Harlem." You'll be glad you got off the bus.
