Duke Ellington
The Conny Plank Session
Grönland; 2015
Quote:
When the Conny Plank estate revealed that they have in their possession a recording of the experimental German producer and swing titan Duke Ellington in the studio together, it was indeed a surprise. But given the Duke's decades-long track record of taking creative risks, the two disparate minds coming together made a certain kind of sense.
Plank, who got his start as the soundman for famed German actress/singer Marlene Dietrich, was a maestro at multi-tracking, creating alien atmospheres for pioneering experimental rock acts such as Guru Guru, Cluster, Kraftwerk, and Neu!.
