The Private Collection: Volume 1, Studio Sessions, Chicago 1956
Recorded at Universal Studio, Chicago, 1956.
This is one in a series of ten albums that, taken together, is the definitive collection of the significant compositions written by Duke Ellington and some other songs long associated with his body of work. These recordings were personally produced by Duke Ellington himself and have remained in his private collection since their completion.
