Great variety!, June 9, 1999
This review is from: Beyond Category: The Musical Genius of Duke (Audio CD)
This cd box set (originally a three disk set) is probably one of the best compilations his music I have heard as yet. Duke Ellington's approach to the blues and swinging fusion Jazz makes for great jams as well as some awsome vocals by the likes of Sarah Vaughn and Billy Epsen. One of my favorites by far is the upbeat version of the C-jam blues on this album. Well done Sir Duke!

Nice Compilation, September 6, 2010
This review is from: Beyond Category: The Musical Genius of Duke (Audio CD)
This is a nice "pocket-size" compilation spanning a lot of years. I feel the noise reduction leans a little to the heavy side on the earlier tracks, but you still can't go wrong with the tunes presented. Also includes a nice informative booklet.
