about

Ouch! Records is proud to present a seminal album of French Jazz for the first time on vinyl. Originally released in 1992 and winner of the Django d'Or prize “Best French Jazz record of the year” in 1993, the CD has long been out of print.
Ellington on the air is more than just a tribute to Duke Ellington: it's a real recreation. As Louis Sclavis himself reminds us: "Neither parody nor embalming, but presence, point of departure, common thread, inspirer".

Sorti en 1992, Django d’or 1993 dans la catégorie « Meilleur disque de jazz français de l’année », le disque était épuisé et introuvable. Ouch ! Records le propose pour la première fois en vinyle

Voulu comme une suite à sa création en sextet en hommage à Duke Ellington pour le Festival de Jazz de Paris, le disque est enregistré aux Gimmick Studio, à Yerres en 1991. Au coté de Louis Sclavis : Yves Robert (trombone), Dominique Pifarély (violons acoustique & électrique), François Raulin (piano, claviers), Bruno Chevillon (contrebasse) et Francis Lassus (batterie).
Ellington on the air est beaucoup plus qu’un simple hommage à Duke Ellington : c’est une véritable recréation. Comme Louis Sclavis le rappelle lui-même : « Ni parodie, ni embaumement, mais présence, point de départ, fil conducteur, inspirateur ».
