Description:
The great Duke Ellington was an extraordinary songwriter, bandleader, and excellent stride pianist who continued to modernize and adapt his style throughout his career. This original Columbia recording is unusual in its diversity, offering tracks performed with a septet, quartet, and full band. "Jump For Joy", "Way Back Blues", and a new version of the classic "Mood Indigo" are just some of the terrific tunes that comprise this remarkable collection. |
