Dieses 4-CD-Set wurde von Alain Pailler und Tony Baldwin aus sorgfältig restaurierten Originalen produziert, die Sie die goldene Ära des Duke Ellington Orchestra so erleben lassen, als wären Sie direkt dabei gewesen. Diese legendären Aufnahmen aus den Jahren 1940-1942 enthalten Ellington-Klassiker wie Ko-Ko, Take The 'A' Train, Perdido und Harlem Air-Shaft, meisterhaft arrangiert vom Duke selbst und seiner rechten Hand Billy Strayhorn. Auf dem Set sind mehrere Giganten der Swing-Ära auf ihrem Höhepunkt zu hören: Cootie Williams und Ray Nance an den Trompeten, Cornettist Rex Stewart, die Posaunisten Joe Nanton und Lawrence Brown, Barney Bigard an der Klarinette, Johnny Hodges, Ben Webster und Harry Carney an den Saxophonen sowie das brillante junge Kontrabass-Wunderkind Jimmy Blanton. Ein Meilenstein der Jazzgeschichte, den man unbedingt hören sollte.
