Duke Ellington - The Essential Duke Ellington

About The Essential Duke Ellington by Duke Ellington Album

The Essential Duke Ellington is, of course, essential American music, as indispensable and indelible as the outputs of Copeland or Gershwin, Armstrong or Dylan. Composer, arranger, pianist, and leader of the most innovative orchestra ever to flourish under the banner of “jazz” — though his glorious, multi-colored work was hardly limited to, or by, jazz’s parameters — the Maestro never stopped creating. For more than half a century, until his death at 75 in 1974, Ellington wrote, performed and above all, guided his band of demigods to Olympus. These 37 selections, spanning the years 1927 and 1960, are, among many other things, an ideal initiation for anyone wishing to glimpse the summit.

- Finally!

Finally available on iTunes. This is easily the best Ellington collection; hit versions of his biggest songs, spanning record labels and decades. There are so many bunk hits collections on iTunes, it's nice to finally see something legit available. I've been waiting.

- Lots of hiss

There is a lot of hiss on the songs in this collection, even the ones that were supposedly remastered in 1999. I regret making the purchase before listening more carefully.

- Yes

Pretty dank the way it is, I was hoping for the old recordings. May not be ‘remastered’ but that is just fine by my standards.
