Surely,one of the most admirable examples of fidelity in jazz music (Harry Carney,baritone sax,stayed with Ellington from 1927 until 1974;he died five months after Duke).
This records has great solos by these masters of jazz; Eldridge,Edison,Dickenson,Lockjaw Davis are in top form;the younger generation,composed of bassist Sam Jones,and the great pianist,Tommy Flanagan (1930-2001),support the elders with talent.But the delight here is to listen to Jo Jones' amazing drumming,specially when he plays brushes.
I recommend it only if you're a die-hard fan of one of these legends because it does add to the overall career story.
