Review: The great Duke Ellington Orchestra was still intact and in its late prime at the time of this performance from 1968. With the death of Billy Strayhorn the year before, Ellington (perhaps sensing his own mortality) accelerated his writing activities, proving that even as he neared 70, he was still at his peak" ~ All Music Guide
Sweet Thunder was an audiophile label specializing in re-issues of the late seventies, early eighties. half-Speed Mastered only from First Generation analog masters, Sweet Thunder paid meticulous attention to detail and sonic nuances like few other high end labels of the era. Their releases are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, near-compulsive attention paid to the integrity of the pressing and highest quality of the material: only the "virgin" (audiophile-grade) vinyl was used, and most LP albums were pressed at RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan... both known for extremely fine sounding records.
