Review by Gerard Sukhram

The album Happy Reunion New Mood Indigo by Duke Ellington is a masterpiece of jazz music. This album is a tribute to Ellington's early years when he was a young pianist and composer, and it features some of his best-known compositions, including "Mood Indigo," "Sophisticated Lady," and "Take the A Train."

The album is a perfect blend of traditional jazz and modern jazz, with Ellington's signature swing style and innovative harmonies. The musicians are all highly skilled, and they bring a unique energy to the music that is both infectious and exciting.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Cotton Tail," which features a blistering saxophone solo by Jimmy Hamilton. The song is a classic Ellington composition, and it showcases his ability to create complex, yet accessible melodies.

Another highlight is "Perdido," which features a driving rhythm section and a soaring trumpet solo by Clark Terry. The song is a perfect example of Ellington's ability to create music that is both sophisticated and danceable.
