The 24-disc Complete RCA Victor Recordings is a bountiful musical feast as nourishing and satisfying as any. This single-CD snapshot offers mere morsels, but in doing so provides a worthwhile sampler plate for those looking for a taste of each of Ellington's creative periods. Spanning 50 years of jazz genius, the 18-song collection begins with Cotton Club-era favorites featuring the growling horns of Bubber Miley and "Tricky Sam" Nanton, moves through the Duke's artistic peak of the early 1940s (featuring tenor Ben Webster and bassist Jimmy Blanton), samples the extended Black, Brown and Beige suite and Sacred Concerts, and culminates with several late-1960s gems from successes such as The Far East Suite and the tribute to departed Billy Strayhorn. In addition, this set features a number of oddities from the Ellington oeuvre--an almost-eight-minute medley from 1932 that was one of the earliest long players as well as an early attempt at stereo (thanks to a double-mic setup), a 1945 date with Tommy Dorsey's orchestra, and a 1946 Esquire all-star summit with Louis Armstrong. As a useful and musically superb overview of the master's career, this record stands on its own; however, don't be surprised if it simply whets your appetite for more Ellingtonia. --Marc Greilsamer

Duke Ellington's life and music is vital. A box set was issued years ago, and it was titled 'The Complete RCA Victor Recordings: The Centennial Editon.' It's very pricy, often ranging in the $500 range. So RCA was smart enough to issue this "best of the box" single disc CD, which is a sampler and is designed for people (I'm definitely included) who want to hear some of the box, but definitely don't want to empty their wallets to get it.
And this serves it's purpose very well. 'Take The A Train,' 'Raincheck' and 'Sophisticated Lady' are all here, and these are vital parts of Sir Duke's career.
And, RCA gets extra points for remastering this. The sound quality is superb!
Overall, the Ellington fan that doesn't need or want to buy the box set should definitely get this. Highly recommended for any Ellington fan.
For staters I'm a casual jazz fan. This is a great album to put on and listen to some Duke. All the tracks are solid. I've listened to it start to finish a few times now, and that's rare for me with an album.
"Jack The Bear" - one of the late Charlie Watt's Desert Island Discs (he rightly said it was "symphonic") - lead me to this selection of DE's recordings which is varied and interesting and includes some vocal tracks. À propos the latter - unless I missed something - why is their no credit for the singer on "My Old Flame"? My research tells me it was the one and only Mae West. She would have had something unprintable to say about that omission!
A MUST HAVE FOR ELLINGTON FANS, great care has been put into this compilation, both in choosing the tracks and in the reprocessing/remastering. In fact the original reason I had this CD made aware to me was because it has the earliest true stereo recording known, from early the 1930's, just listen to the mp3 samples, track 4 is the stereo one. A must have, thoroughly recommended.
