DUKE ELLINGTON

THE TREASURY SHOWS, VOLUME 4
Description:
2 CD set. WW II is over in Europe, but not Japan, and Duke Ellington is on the road, still patriotically selling US war bonds via live radio shows. The music here is from the Paradise Theatre in Detroit and the Regal Theatre in Chicago May, 1945, and the Café Zanzibar October, 1945. The recordings from the Café Zanzibar has never been released before now. The musical program presented here is blended for both listening and dancing, and includes many Duke Ellington standards, plus several new or rarely performed tunes. Even though this 2 CD presents a relatively “standard” version of the Duke Ellington Orch. from the mid 40’s, it is still the best big band in the U.S. and the music is full of tasty solos by Rex Stewart, Sam Nanton, Cat Anderson, Johnny Hodges, Joya Sherrill and the Duke, himself. From the Treasury Department Broadcasts from The Detroit Paradise Theater in May of 1945
