Duke Ellington was an influential American jazz pianist, bandleader, and composer. He is known for his residency at the Cotton Club from 1927 to 1931 and for composing over a thousand pieces, many of which have become standards in the genre. He frequently collaborated with Billy Strayhorn. Duke Ellington's son, Mercer Ellington, took over leadership of his father's orchestra until his own death in 1996.

Box Sets

This essential Ellington library features rare bonus tracks and new state-of-the-art mixes of some of the most enduring recordings in American jazz history. 

The initial Columbia album, Masterpieces By Ellington, found the maestro embracing the new technology, displaying grand arrangements of his popular anthems. Other visionary projects soon followed: Ellington Uptown, featuring the masterful composition like A Tone Parallel To Harlem and Blue Rose with singer Rosemary Clooney and Black, Brown and Beige with majestic contributions from Mahalia Jackson. Such Sweet Thunder is a masterpiece with Johnny Hodges at his voluptuous best. Ranging from ambitious themed projects to extended remakes of early classics, this collection emphasizes how restlessly wide-ranging the maestro was!
