DUKE ELLINGTON

THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION

Description:
Duke Ellington: The Centennial Collection offers a sampling of music from his vast body of work that is widely regarded as one of the great artistic legacies of the 20th century. The maestro recorded for Victor, Bluebird and RCA Victor beginning in 1927 and continuing on and off to 1973. The CD in this package captures Ellington and his band on 13 cuts recorded between 1927 and 1942. Also included are eight previously unreleased broadcast selections by Duke’s legendary 1941 band starring bassist Jimmie Blanton and saxophonist Ben Webster. The DVD captures Ellington and his band in short film format. All eight of his films during 1934 and 1943 are included, with guest vocalists such as Billie Holiday, Ivie Anderson and Herb Jeffries. A previously unissued 11 minute audio interview with Duke is also featured on the DVD.
