The Chronological Duke Ellington & His Orchestra 1946-1947Classics 1051 |
The Classics Chronological series on Ellington is not to be missed. Classics has plenty of albums out and good sound as well. The liner notes could be more extensive, but no other company is this far along in reissuing Ellington.
