This compact overview of some 50 years of Duke Ellington's music mixes familiar stuff like "East St. Duke Ellington's Finest Hour music CDs Louis Toodle-oo," "Black and Tan Fantasy," and "Take the 'A' Train" with lesser-known pieces like the rambunctious, 1920s-vintage "Jubilee Stomp" and "Rent Party Blues," as well as the more sophisticated 1950s swing of "Stompy Jones." It also showcases Ellington's extraordinary musicians over the years--talents like the 1920s-era trumpeter Bubber Miley, saxophonist Ben Webster, who performed with Ellington in the early 1940s, and longtime stalwarts like Johnny Hodges and Harry "Sweets" Edison.
