This article is about the Duke Ellington album. For the 2002 film soundtrack, see The Pianist (soundtrack).
The Pianist is a studio album by the American pianist, composer and bandleader Duke Ellington, compiled from sessions in 1966 and 1970, and released on the Fantasy Records label in 1974.[1] Tracks one through seven were recorded at RCA Studio A in New York, New York on July 18, 1966. Tracks eight through ten were recorded in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 7, 1970.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Duke Ellington had so many talents (composer, arranger, bandleader, personality) that his skills as a pianist could easily be overlooked. Fortunately he did record a fair amount of trio albums through the years so there is plenty of evidence as to his unique style which was both modern and traditional at the same time".[2]
