About this album
A classic Duke Ellington compilation, Duke Ellington’s Greatest Hits gathers the bandleader’s most durable signatures into one concise portrait of his art. Spanning the repertoire that made Ellington one of jazz’s defining figures, it brings together elegant swing, richly coloured orchestration and melodies that became standards in their own right. Songs such as “Take the ‘A’ Train”, “Mood Indigo” and “Satin Doll” show his gift for turning sophisticated writing into music with immediate warmth and character. As an overview of Ellington’s big-band legacy, it remains an ideal entry point to his enduring influence.
