I copied this from the jazz thread:
Dave Grusin - Homage To Duke Japanese pressing  Because Dan wrote such praising words about the sound quality of this album, and I do love Ellington's work, I purchased it. I gladly admit: this is a T E R R I F I C recording. Featuring Eddie Daniels (clarinet), Tom Scott (tenor saxophone), Harvey Mason, Sr. (drums), John Patitucci (bass), Clark Terry (vocals, flugelhorn, trumpet), George Bohannon (trombone), Brian Bromberg (bass), John Patitucci (bass), Pete Christlieb (tenor saxophone), John Clark (English horn, oboe), David Duke (horn), Tommy Johnson (tuba), Steve Kujala (flute, alto flute), Ronnie Lang (flute), John Lowe (bass clarinet), Brian O'Connor (French horn), Rick Todd (horn) Arranged by Dave Grusin Produced by Dave Grusin
