The latest release in the AVID Jazz series represents excellent value for money as we present three cool LP’s from Duke Ellington recorded in the mid fifties. All three have been expertly re-mastered and feature on a mid price double CD. And to add even more value there are an extra eleven tracks recorded in 1953 to complete the set!
Historically Speaking was the Dukes first album for London and is currently only available on Amazon at £25 plus! It features Duke with 14 sidemen playing tunes associated with him from 1926 to 1956.
Duke Ellington Presents features the Duke spotlighting some of his many soloists such as the legendary Paul Gonsalves, Ben Webster and of course Johnny Hodges among many others.
Ellington 55 features old and new tunes given a modern treatment and including a battery of new soloists.
A real treat for Ellington fans and at a great price from AVID Jazz.
