Notes: This is a double album of offhand Ellingtonians - not Duke's big band, but special sessions recorded for his own label. Some are musical experiments, like the session with bassist Oscar Pettiford, where Pettiford switches to his seldom-heard 'cello, the two sides with Wild Bill Davis, a breakthrough for the organ in small-group jazz, and the Duke-Billy Strayhorn duets, which both pianists clearly got a big kick out of. There are also track of groups outside the Ducal mainstream, free-blowing sessions for musicians like Willie Smith, Paul Gonzalves, Cat Anderson, Jimmy Hamilton, Britt Woodman. Despite their limited size, they sound at times like the full Ellington band. A tasty, varied menu for Ellington fans.
