• By the time these recordings were made, Ellington had been widely regarded as a genius for over fifteen years. In addition to his commercially available recordings – some of which are on Vol.11 in this series: Time’s A Wastin’ – Ellington also made a series of transcriptions specifically to be played on the radio. It is from that treasure trove that the first fourteen selections of this collection are drawn.
• Duke Ellington used his Carnegie Hall concerts in the 1940s as opportunities to perform extended works. His 1946 concert featured a four-part work called The Deep South Suite. Leonard Feather’s brief verbal introduction was actually recorded in the studio. The suite is an ironic ‘tribute’ to the South of the time.
