    ““This album contains moments of genuine inspiration, plus a high level of artistry and craftsmanship. Mission accomplished, artfully.” – Owen Cordle, JazzTimes

    In this diverse and exciting musical tribute, a talented and multifaceted assemblage of notable musicians - including 4 NEA Jazz Masters - pay tribute to Duke Ellington, playing tunes Duke wrote and made famous. All of these artists have benefited from Duke’s music and influence. Wide in scope and deep in nature, Ellington’s influence is something for which we will remain in debt for many years to come.

    Arkadia Jazz All-Stars: Thank You, Duke! CD in a jewel case.

    “Plenty of fine discs have honored Duke this year, and this eclectic album ranks among the best.” – Bob Young, Boston Herald

    The “Arkadia Jazz All-Stars” is a group established in 1996 as the brainchild of Bob Karcy, Producer, musician, Founder and CEO of Arkadia Records. Karcy’s original goal was to harness the creative brilliance of the Artists on its Arkadia Records labels, along with select guest musicians representing some of Jazz’s biggest stars, to create an unparalleled series of newly recorded, thematically unified studio albums. So far, ten albums have been recorded and three more are in production. The Arkadia Jazz All-Stars albums have been honored with three Grammy Award Nominations.

    ““This album contains moments of genuine inspiration, plus a high level of artistry and craftsmanship. Mission accomplished, artfully.” – Owen Cordle, JazzTimes

    The “Arkadia Jazz All-Stars: Thank You, Duke (Our Tribute to Duke Ellington)”, creates a remarkable tribute to one of Jazz music’s most eminent composers and important personalities. We at Arkadia Jazz feel it is important to honor the legacy of some of Jazz’s greats. For our “Thank You” Series of musical homages, we asked our artists go into the studio and record all new, previously unreleased versions of songs either derived from or influenced by the enduring legacy of Jazz’s royalty, in this case, the incomparable Duke Ellington.

    Lead Artists are: Benny Golson, Joanne Brackeen, T.K. Blue, Billy Taylor, Harold Land, and Joris Teepe, and Eric Reed from our Joe Henderson project.

    Special Guest Artists are: Mulgrew Miller, Chris Potter, Buster Williams, James Hurt, Carl Allen, Steve Nelson, Terrell Stafford, Billy Higgins, Don Braden, Ira Coleman, Horacio ” El Negro” Hernandez, and Randy Weston.

    “…there is no sign of age in any of the timeless themes, certainly not in this interpretation.” – Ray Redmond, Jazz USA

    In this diverse and exciting collection from Arkadia’s recording artists, a talented and multifaceted assemblage of musicians – each in his own style and manner – pays tribute to Duke Ellington, playing tunes Duke wrote or made famous. Ellington´s influence is something for which we will remain in debt for many years to come. As such, we feel very strongly that it is important to say… Thank you, Duke!

    Bob Karcy’s ultimate aim is that the Arkadia Jazz All-Stars, in addition to creating new, exciting and stellar music, would emerge as an artistically successful recording group on its own, and serve as a showcase for the Artists on Arkadia Records, allowing them to create awareness and recognition, and helping our Artists expand beyond their hard core fans.
