• These recordings showcase him as the splendid pianist he was.

• As a bonus, there is an extended 1966 solo piano version of “New World A-Comin’” and an extremely rare solo piano version of “Mood Indigo, recorded on the Nat King Cole radio show in 1947.

• Personnel : Duke Ellington, piano on all tracks, plus: Wendell Marshall (b), Jimmy Woode (b), Sam Woodyard (d), Butch Ballard (d) or Dave Black (d) plus Ralph Colier (conga) on one track.
