This mid-priced triple-CD box (originally five separate LPs) contains 64 tracks recorded by Ellington and his band for radio broadcast between March 28, 1946 and June 10, 1947. This was a period in which the Ellington band was, if anything, underrecorded; he'd ended his longtime stay on RCA-Victor and was moving to Musicraft and then on to Columbia, and the move between labels left Ellington less well represented in the studio than he might otherwise have been with a long-term contract. Included...

Description: Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington, "King of the Keys," was born on April 29, 1899, in Washington, D.C. "He was a smooth-talkin', slick-steppin', piano-playin' kid," writes master wordsmith Andrea Pinkney in the rhythmic, fluid, swinging prose of this excellent biography for early readers. It was ragtime music that first "set Duke's fingers to wiggling." He got back to work and taught himself to "press on the pearlies." Soon 19-year-old Duke was playing compositions "smoother than a hairdo...

Level 3. Four Ellington hits - Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Do Nothin' 'Till You Hear from Me, Sophisticated Lady, and It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) - are given special treatment in this monster medley. Full instrumentation is required, and the arrangement is moderately advanced, but the result is great music!

In 1974 the inimitable, irreplaceable Duke Ellington died. This tribute led by his son, Mercer, followed shortly thereafter and features many veterans of Ellington's greatest compositional instrument, his orchestra. Saxophonist Harry Carney takes a fine solo on "Drop Me Off in Harlem"; other favorites include "All Too Soon," "Jeep's Blues," "Blue Serge," "Harlem Air Shaft," "Black and Tan Fantasy," and "Jump for Joy."

In a series of early-1950s recordings featuring many of its most famous musicians, including the baritone saxophonist Harry Carney, the tenor sax player Paul Gonsalves, and the trumpeter and violinist Ray Nance, the Duke Ellington Orchestra performs a high-octane set of big-band dance music, featuring such favorites as "Flying Home," "Rockin' in Rhythm," and "Stompin' At the Savoy." Though recorded in what was something of a fallow period for Ellington, after the 1940s big-band heyday and before...

Booklist - 06/01/1998 *Starred Review* Jazz continues to attract picture-book artists, who find in the improvisational music a unique opportunity to let their artistic imaginations soar. Too often, however, they soar well beyond the reach of a young audience. Not so with this swinging introduction to the life and music of Duke Ellington. Andrea Davis Pinkney's jaunty, slangy text tells a story and does it with a rhythm and style that manage to capture Ellington's era without sounding silly to today...

1937 by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra on CD In addition to seven selections by the Duke Ellington Orchestra, this interesting CD has a number released by Ivie Anderson's name ("The Old Plantation") and small-group dates full of Ellington stars but led by Cootie Williams, Barney Bigard, and Johnny Hodges, plus four numbers by the Gotham Stompers (which mixes together Ellington and Chick Webb sidemen). No matter who is leading the particular group, Ellington is very much under control, often using...

1935-1936 by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra on CD All of the Duke Ellington Orchestra's recordings from 1935 plus their first two sessions from 1936 are on this enjoyable CD. The rise of the swing era may have resulted in many competing big bands being formed, but Ellington occupied his own private musical world and continued to flourish artistically and to an extent commercially. By 1935, his orchestra featured major soloists in Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart, Tricky Sam Nanton, Lawrence Brown, Johnny...

Although Duke Ellington passed away on May 24, 1974, this posthumous effort can be thought of as his orchestra's final record. Duke's son Mercer took over the big band and at least for a short time still had some surviving veterans in which to form a nucleus. Baritonist Harry Carney is heard on two numbers (taking a solo on "Drop Me Off in Harlem") from the first session before he too passed away. Also quite prominent is trumpeter Cootie Williams along with such new (and temporary) bandmembers as...
