'Black, Brown, & Beige' is Duke Ellington's
musical representation of the African American
experience in the United States. It is arguably
The Maestro's greatest work. The triumph of
telling so important a story so well through music
alone makes Duke Ellington's 'Black, Brown, &
Beige' a masterpiece. It also displays Duke's, and
Jazz's, highest achievement in long form. Whether
you perceive it as a three movement symphony or
accept Ellington's own personalized terminology
?Tone Parallel?, 'Black, Brown, & Beige' matches
conceptually and in artistic content the musical
continuity of Western Classical's greatest names
in their lengthiest works.
The history of 'Black, Brown, & Beige' is in its
own right momentous. Ellington premiered the work
at Carnegie Hall on January 23, 1943, at Duke's
first performance on that illustrious stage. The
Maestro has created the 'Come Sunday Suite'. Duke
Ellington basically reduced his three movement
work to its first, 'Black', elevating that
movement's spiritual theme, 'Come Sunday', making
it the melody of the edited work. Truncating the
symphony 'Black, Brown, & Beige' into the song
'Come Sunday' works because Duke Ellington has
expanded 'Come Sunday' through numerous theme and
variations unknown to the original. The piece de
resistance: a sacred text, by Duke himself, a text
sung by the best known African-American religious
singer in history, Mahalia Jackson. There is no
doubt that it is the presence and performance of
Mahalia Jackson which secures a home in the
pantheon for this recasting of 'Black, Brown, &
Beige', a work that already resided there.
And Duke Ellington pulled off this coup with one
hand tied behind his back, or without the services
of his right hand man. Overlooked over the years
since the album 'Black, Brown, & Beige' was
recorded in February 1958 is the absence of Johnny
Hodges (Hodges did a gig with Strayhorn in
Florida during this period), the Ellington band's
premier soloist ?
The sides C & D are released on vinyl for the
first time with this issue.
