Trmendous performance from The Duke and his Orchestra and the audio quality was not a let down compared to the later title in the series - Duke Ellington Masters, 1971......see my other review of that title.
Jazz piano at it's best and an orchestra to match. Well worth renting, particularly for Big Band Jazz fans.
