Album Notes
Duke Ellington & His Orchestra: Duke Ellington (piano); Ivie Anderson (vocals); Johnny Hodges, Otto Hardwick (alto saxophone); Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Harry Carney (baritone saxophone); Cootie Williams, Wallace Jones (trumpet); Rex Stewart (cornet); Lawrence Brown, Tracky Sam Nanton, Juan Tizol (trombone); Barney Bigard (clarinet); Fred Guy (guitar); Jimmy Blanton, Billy Taylor (bass); Sonny Greer (drums).
Recorded from radio broadcasts in Boston, Massachusetts on July 26, 1939 and January 9, 1940. Includes liner notes by Scott Yanow.
Digitally remastered by Duff Tatian (FDS Labs, Los Angeles, California).
This album is the result of some enterprising music fan who recorded live Duke Ellington concerts in 1939 and 1940--in July in Boston, to be exact. This is not crystalline super-stereo--but the sound quality is very, very good, and the quality of the music will easily overcome any reservations about pre-1960 recording technology. Ellington's band was, by many at the time as well as today, to be one of his best ensembles, if not THE best. It was the edition that featured two of the finest jazz players to ever be: tenor sax giant Ben Webster and bassist Jimmy Blanton. Further, the program consists of lesser-known gems from the Duke's song-book: "Way Low," "Little Posey," "Old King Dooji," "Jazz Potpourri." For fans or those just getting into Ellington, this budget-priced disc is a figurative steal.

Editorial Reviews
...Sound quality, of course, does not compare with that of today's studio recordings, but it is compensated for by the historical significance of the music....The Ellington band plays great material out of its Columbia period just before it switched to Victor, and the performances have considerable abandon and spontaneity...
