DUKE ELLINGTON: MARY POPPINS (Reprise). The Duke leaves all the Hollywood sugar in these twelve pieces from the Disney movie and adds some corn (a growling trumpet, a wah-wah trombone). But there is deftness in most of his gentle transformations, and he seems to enjoy playing with the little pieces.
