Recording information: 1927 - 1942.
Arranger: Billy Strayhorn.
Compiling one disc to represent the work of Duke Ellington--a giant of American music whose oeuvre spans more than 50 years--is no small task. But THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION manages nicely by concentrating on Duke's RCA Victor period, a fertile era (spanning the late 1920s to the early '40s) that featured one of his finest bands. Selected from the titanic, 24-disc box THE DUKE ELLINGTON CENTENNIAL EDITION, this scaled-down sampler features 13 well-loved mini-masterpieces and seven previously unreleased tracks.
In the former category are such delectable slices of Ellingtonia as "Black and Tan Fantasy" and "The Mooch." In the latter are lesser known, though no less fetching, tracks like "Sepia Panorama," featuring sharp arrangements by then-newcomer Billy Strayhorn. Solo turns by baritone saxophonist Harry Carney ("East St. Louis Toodle-O"), alto saxophonist Johnny Hodges ("In a Mellow Tone"), clarinetist Barney Bigard ("Mood Indigo," a timeless tune he co-wrote with Duke), and tenor saxophonist Ben Webster ("Ko-Ko") prove the indisputable superiority of Duke's '30s and early-'40s bands. A bonus DVD of motion-picture outtakes and interview footage is rich icing on the already-tasty cake.
