Editorial Reviews
Owen Cordle, Jazz Times
Space does not permit a play-by-play description of the performances on this CD. But dig the echoes of the Ellington soloists, the authentic Ellington band drive and feeling of the rhythm section, and the shifting horn colors.

Product Description
The rich script which life presented to Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington is presented to us through his compositional genius and the artistry of the performers who interpret that genius. To be able to join my colleagues in recording this Ellington collection as we celebrated the centennial of his birth has been among the richest and most rewarding experiences of my life. I hope that each of you will experience some of the joy in listening to this collection that we experienced in preparing it for you. To Duke - "The world loves you madly, your music lives on!"
