5 out of 5 stars Great variety!.......1999-06-09

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!
