About this album
A vital Duke Ellington compilation, Rockin' In Rhythm Vol. 3 highlights the Jungle Band years as his late-1920s to early-1930s big-band language took shape. Drawing on recordings from 1929 to 1931, it captures the blend of dark tonal colour, sharp ensemble writing and swinging drive that made Ellington's early orchestra so distinctive. Alongside landmark sides such as Mood Indigo, Rockin' In Rhythm and Creole Rhapsody, the set shows how Ellington expanded jazz orchestration beyond dance-band routine into something more individual, atmospheric and sophisticated. It is an essential snapshot of one of jazz's most influential creative periods.
