Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra - Every Hour On The Hour I Fall In Love With You Times A Wastin

Review by UGB Nova Iguaçu

Every Hour On The Hour I Fall In Love With You Times A Wastin’ – Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra (1945) Alright, let me just say this: if jazz had a heartbeat, it’d probably sound like Every Hour On The Hour I Fall In Love With You Times A Wastin’. This 1945 gem from Duke Ellington and his crew is one of those albums that doesn’t just sit in your ears—it lives there. It’s big band jazz at its finest, dripping with swagger, soul, and that unmistakable Ellington magic. Released under Victor back when records still felt like events, this thing hits different. Let’s talk tracks, because honestly, you can’t get through this album without stopping to gawk at a couple of them. First up, “Every Hour On The Hour (I Fall In Love With You).” Man, oh man. The horns come in like they own the room—bold, brassy, but somehow smooth enough to make you forget your name for a second. There’s something about how the melody wraps around you; it feels like falling in love during golden hour, all warm and glowing but kinda fleeting too. When the sax takes over halfway through, it’s not just playing notes—it’s telling you secrets. Secrets you didn’t even know you wanted to hear until now. Then there’s “Time’s A-Wastin’,” which… well, it slaps. Hard. Like, put-this-on-when-you’re-late-and-suddenly-don’t-care slap. The rhythm section locks in so tight, it’s almost hypnotic. You find yourself nodding along, maybe tapping your foot or pretending you’re in some smoky club where everyone’s dressed better than you’ll ever be. What sticks with me most is how playful it feels. Like life ain’t so serious after all—you can waste time if you want to, as long as you’re doing it to this tune. This album isn’t perfect—in fact, sometimes it feels a little rough around the edges, like an old photograph that’s faded but somehow more real because of it. That’s what makes it human, though. These songs breathe. They laugh. They remind you that music wasn’t always meant to be polished to death—it was meant to live. Here’s the kicker: listening to this record today feels like eavesdropping on history. It’s wild to think people were dancing to these exact same beats nearly 80 years ago. Makes you wonder what else we’ve forgotten along the way. Maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it—to remember what joy sounded like before we started overthinking everything. Oh, and hey—if you ever see this album in a thrift store? Grab it. Even if you don’t have a record player. Just hold onto it. Trust me.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra released an album in 1945 called *Every Hour On The Hour I Fall In Love With You Times A Wastin*. It’s a jazz record with that classic big band sound. Two standout tracks are the title songs, "Every Hour On The Hour (I Fall In Love With You)" and "Time's A-Wastin'." Fun fact—this was during the swing era, and it came out on Victor, a major label at the time. People still groove to it today!

2:24 With all due respect to all other great swing royalty but a sound like this biting yet wailing brass is unheard of outside the realm of Ellingtonia. Preacher Brown, my cup runneth over with blue juice!

What a band -- Duke could point to anyone and get a fabulous solo. ... Yay, Laurence Brown!

Some things ain't what they used to be, but your sound restoration remains unequaled!
