Various Artists: Impulsively Ellington!: A Tribute to Duke Ellington
by Marc Davis
It's not hard to find Duke Ellington cover songs. Nearly every jazz musician alive (and many long dead) has covered an Ellington tune or two. Some have done entire albums.

Daniel Rosenboom Quintet: Fire Keeper
by Robert Bush
"Fusion" has rarely been so bold. Drawing on the traditions of the original Mahavisnu Orchestra, and Ornette Coleman's Prime Time, with liberal doses of Slavic folk-music and free-jazz, trumpeter Daniel Rosenboom's Quintet is an experiment of nuclear proportions.
