Music Reviews of Never No Lament the Blanton-Webster Band
Music Review: Duke Ellington is the Coolest
Rating: 5 Stars
The Blanton-Webster band of 1940-'42 is one of the Duke's finest hours. This was the band that played Take the "A" Train and redefined swing. It is possible that this band forged be-bop also. This 75 track 3 disc set is simply essential. Many cd's say essential but this one really is. This is some of the greatest American music of all time and damnit I wish I had it and I wish I could've met the Duke. He was one hip brother.
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington
1899-1974
Music Review: A ROYAL FEAST
Rating: 5 Stars
The great Duke Ellington gave us 50 years of courtly blues. The tunes here have classy beauty and soulful depth that just never lose their appeal, like jewels that reveal different facets with each exposure. It's an elegant, swinging collection, full of sparkling arrangements and virtuosic playing. Truly great!!
Music Review: Look for an import

Forget about this. You can get these tracks, better remastered in the Definitive or Proper labels. They got them here at Amazon. This edition is a joke.Music Review: The great 1941 Ellington band showcase.

What more need be said. This collection is 3 CD full of this great band - released tracks and outtakes. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
