The Ellington sound developed beautifully from its humble beginnings

This album's selection shows the band emerging from its obligatory 'jungle music'phase and developing to the great orchestra it became. Twenty performances by the early Duke Ellington Orchestra when works of art were emerging and the fun was in full swing.
