At times dripping with pathos and oversentimentality, this is a largely successful smooth-jazz-infused polishing of classic Ellingtonia. Going Home is a pop-R\u0026amp;B crossover producer's all-star dream date, crafted by George Duke, Kashif, and Dwayne Wiggins, who hip hops \"It Don't Mean a Thing\" with Guru. Six Ellington classics are given a millennium twist, and four new pieces make extensive use of Duke-like themes, lyrics, and tune titles. The best example of the latter is Jerry Butler, Grady Tate, and the Dells' spirited collaboration \"Swinging at the Cotton Club.\" Two fortuitous partnerships are forged when Nancy Wilson and Kenny Lattimore team up for a mellow \"Don't Get Around Much Anymore,\" while Jon Hendricks, Al Jarreau, Take 6, and Gregory Hines's tap-dancing render \"Going Home\" a moving, polystylistic tribute. --Willard Jenkins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 015095376725\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0015095376725\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48924105507075,"sku":"6L-K7FS-YM5Z","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/515GYBG1MVL.jpg?v=1782751963","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/going-home-tribute-to-duke-ellington","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
