Masterpieces


 Duke Ellington's, 'Masterpieces.'

Just looking through the collection and having difficulty believing how many Ellingtons and Count Basie recordings I have. I've never sought them out, just taking them home when I come across one.

Must have been fun following them in the 1940's and 50's. Knowing that something new was always around the corner. None of this waiting two or three years between releasing new recordings.
