About this album
This compilation is a vital survey of Duke Ellington’s formative years, gathering original performances from 1927 to 1934, when his band moved from Harlem club sensation to one of jazz’s defining orchestras. It captures the development of Ellington’s style through early classics such as East St. Louis Toodle-oo, Creole Love Call, The Mooche and Solitude, showing how his writing for individual voices and sectional colour helped reshape big-band jazz. Taken from the period that established his reputation, the set offers an essential portrait of Ellington’s invention, elegance and lasting influence.
