Aki Takase's phenomenal technique and her talent for improvisation is well known, as is her love for the jazz classics. She has already paid tribute to Fats Waller and recorded with saxophonist Silke Eberhard an Ornette Coleman Anthology. Now she takes a close look at the arguably most influential jazz pianist of the jazz tradition: Duke Ellington.
