Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington wrote some of the twentieth century's greatest Big Band music, but he also wrote in a variety of forms. The boisterous and evocative Harlem pays tribute to Ellington's roots, Black, Brown, and Beige sets work songs and spirituals, whilst the suite from The River shows his genius in writing for the stage. Three Black Kings, scored as a ballet, was left unfinished at his death, but shows no lessening of invention. Ellington's arrangement of Billy Strayhorn's Take the 'A' Train became famous around the world after the outbreak of World War II, and ranks among the most widely recorded standards of all time.
