5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tribute, June 2, 2008

By	Carver T. Green - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful tribute to Billy Strayhorn, that forgotten, pushed-to-the-back GENIUS. I am so glad that Duke Ellington did what he could at the time, during the times, to develop a legacy for Billy which he justly deserves. This really is a MUST HAVE CD for those whose taske in jazz is seasoned.

1.0 out of 5 stars a bad release of a great album, May 1, 2008

By	P. Kenny - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first heard this album on an audio cassette I borrowed from the library more than ten years ago, and it's been my favorite Ellington/Strayhorn music since.

Unfortunately this release of ...and His Mother Called Him Bill is terrible. The first CD I received could not be played past Track 8, and the replacement Amazon sent me had errors from Track 13 until the end. Neither disc has any visible damage.

I recommend ...and His Mother Called Him Bill if you like Ellington, but find another version.
