Michael Bolton, with his overwrought remakes of soul and R&B hits, has been the laughing stock of critics for years, though his CD sales have always given him the last laugh.
But his surprising change in direction to a straight-ahead jazz session of music from the vast repertoire of Duke Ellington shows him in a completely new light.
Bolton even penned beautiful lyrics to Ellington’s understated “The Single Petal of a Rose.” He has a lot of fun with the sassy “Fat and Forty” and Ellington’s neglected R&B-flavored work “One More Time For the People.” But it was his adept scatting to “Take the A Train” that won over this longtime critic.

The Duke of Bolton, a nobleman then in the prime of life, living apart from his wife, became inflamed with a violent passion for Miss Fenton, and came frequently to see the play.
Charles, third Duke of Bolton, who married Lavinia Fenton, died in 1754, without legitimate issue, though Miss Fenton had brought him before marriage several children, one of whom, a clergyman, was living in 1809, when Banks mentioned the circumstance in his Extinct Peerage of England.
The Bolton peerage fell into this condition in 1794, on the death of Harry, the fifth duke, and thus ended the main line of the Pauletts, so noted as statesmen and public characters in the days of Elizabeth and the first Stuarts.
