The Essential Duke Ellington
Pianist, composer, and bandleader Duke Ellington, is one of my favorite jazz musicians. He is one of the best jazz artists of all time. This collection has many of his songs from the 20s on. Some of my favorites are "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo", "Take It Easy", "Hot and Bothered", "The Mooche", "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)", "Caravan", "Pyramid", "Tired Socks", "Ko-Ko", "Take the "A" Train", "Perdido", and "Arabesque Cookie". A must own collection for jazz fans.
My favorite albums and songs of the 50s. 50s bebop, blues, country, dance, doo-wop, folk, hard bop, jazz, novelty, pop, R&B, rockabilly, rock and roll, and other genres of 50s music.
