About

Here are 15 previously unissued recordings from the treasure chest that Duke Ellington liked to refer to as the ‘stockpile.’ Although he professed little concern for posterity and always placed emphasis on ‘now,’ he took care of both in incomparable fashion. How wonderful it would be if the work of the greatest musicians of the past had been similarly documented on records!

For Ellington has left us not merely finished, definitive versions of his music, but also the experimental, workshop models on which the ideas for masterpieces were explored and developed. In effect, what we have is like a huge sketchbook, where prototypes, alternatives and variations are shown with fascinating differences of detail, all of which are very well-illustrated in this collection.
