A rare batch of small group studio sessions recorded by Duke Ellington between 1956 and 1958. Included are the eight amazing quartet tracks with Paul Gonsalves, as well as quintets, sextets and septets, showcasing not only the Duke’s amazing talents but also those of his selected soloists.

As a bonus, three orchestral tracks that complete the 1956 septet session, with many Ellingtonians, including : Johnny Hodges, Clark Terry, Paul Gonsalves Jimmy Hamilton, Willie Cook, Cat Anderson, Ray Nance, Russell Procope and Harry Carney.

This release compiles all known small group sessions recorded by Duke Ellington in the studio during the 1950s. They are worth listening to these sessions not only to hear such musicians as Gonsalves, Hodges or Terry in small group settings with Ellington’s long-time rhythm section of Jimmy Woode on bass and Sam Woodyard, drums, but also to have an all too rare chance to hear the Duke’s marvellous piano playing.
