Music Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 14 ratings.
I live in Sweden, where I was born in 1942. About 1952/53 i USED to listen to Voice of America, Willis Conover´s "Jazz Hour" and some nice swedish jazz programs on the radio. In "Jazz Hour" I was fascinated by the starting song; Take the A train - exact the recording appearing on this CD. Part of the Liberian Suite was the start in the swedish jazz program. I came to admire both of the recordings and I still like them.
The Mooche and other songs appearing on this CD are also some of my Ellington favourites. Not the least just in these recordings!
I still play my old vinyl EP:s and LP:s to catch the feeling, but it is nice to get it more convenient on this excellent CD. This must have been one of Ellington´s best periods, after this period I feel that his carisma started to decline.
A orchestra carreer starting about 1923, ending at DE:s death 1974. In my eyes some of the recordings on this CD, are basic in the Ellington production!
