Duke Ellington and His Orchestra, Vol. 4: 1943

by Duke Ellington

Overview

Part of a nine-LP series of Duke Ellington's transcriptions for the World Broadcasting System, Volume Four has particularly enjoyable versions of "It Don't Mean a Thing," "Johnny Come Lately" and "Creole Love Call" although, due to the many alternates, it is recomended mostly to true Ellington collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
