Duke At His Very Best Legendary Works 1940-1942 Coffret

Description

Legendary works 1940-1942
Created by Alain Pailler and Tony Baldwin, this 4 CD box set has benefited from particularly meticulous restoration that allows you to appreciate the Duke Ellington Orchestra in its golden age as if you were there.
These legendary sessions from the 1940-1942 include the greatest Ellington classics, masterfully arranged by the Duke as well as his right-hand man Billy Strayhorn: from Ko-Ko to Take The ‘A’ Train, Perdido or Harlem Air-Shaft. In addition, you will find, at their best, some of the legendary figures of the Swing Era: Cootie Williams or Ray Nance (trumpet), Rex Stewart (cornet), Joe Nanton and Lawrence Brown (trombone) or even Barney Bigard (clarinet), Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster and Harry Carney (saxophones) as well as the young prodigy bassist Jimmy Blanton.
Essential recordings in the history of jazz.
