Description:
4 CD set. The most important American musician? Any list of great American musicians will put the Duke near the top. Composer, bandleader, pianist, he headed his orchestra for nearly fifty years, carrying jazz to the ends of the earth. Here is the master's early work, including the 'Washingtonians' sides where the Duke's gifts were first exposed and where long term creative partnerships like that with Sonny Greer were established. Add notes by Jazz and Ellington aficionado Keith Briggs and remastering to JSP's usual standards and you have a great, deal. |
