| | 1. |  | Masterpieces by Ellington
by Duke Ellington
Price: $4.95
Customer Review:
When Ellington went into the studio in 1951 to record the longer tracks on this disc, his orchestra was a bridge between its late-1940's configuration (the 5-man trumpet section) and its mid-1950's personnel. The sax section had settled into the form it would have for most of the ensuing two decades... more info

The recording is fantastic. The compositions are highly entertaining. There will never be another Duke. He was an absolute genius accompanied by highly talented musicians. There is not a single mediocre track on this CD.

| | 6. |  | Three Suites
by Duke Ellington
Price: $2.93
Customer Review:
This is a melding of two earlier albums, both recorded around 1960. These adaptations of works by Tchaikovsky and Grieg tend to get ignored by the jazz critics, and are probably deplored by the classical ones. Which is a pity, because the love affair between the two genres goes back a long way,... more info

Maybe not the... more info

All too often, these sorts of all-star sessions are usually a disappointment to the fans of all involved, in whatever genre of music they occur. (Any rock fans remember Little Village?) That's what makes this album such a joyous surprise. Everyone involved is at the very top of their game, and the... more info

| | 9. |  | Money Jungle
by Duke Ellington
Price: $7.95
Customer Review:
Me, I am no expert in music. That said, I let my ears guide me. In my opinion this CD has no weak points. Whether it is the title track, or "Wig Wise," which sounds to me like Thelonious Monk's "Well, You Needn't," there are surprises lurking in every track. I barely recovered from "Caravan" before... more info
