Up until the '50s, live concert broadcast from studios, clubs, and concert halls were commonplace. This volume of THE TREASURY SHOWS captures the Ellington orchestra live from New York's 400 Restaurant, as well as from clubs in Chicago and southern California, with the years covered spanning the early `40's to mid-`50's. The early-to-mid-`50s edition of the Duke's orchestra was one of his very best, with top-level soloists, classy compositions, and elegant swing, mixing his famous hits with lesser-known gems. There are also some brief commercials for U.S. Savings Bonds scattered throughout. Not the best set for those new to Ellington, but history-minded enthusiasts will find this a treasure-trove.
