EARLY ELLINGTON: THE COMPLETE BRUNSWICK AND VOCALION RECORDINGS OF DUKE ELLINGTON, 1926-1931 was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Historical Album. EARLY ELLINGTON traces the arrival of such mainstays as Tricky Joe Nanton, Harry Carney, Barney Bigard and Cootie Williams into the Ellington orbit--a group dubbed The Jungle Band. Their collective performances with dancer Bill Robinson on "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Doin' The Low Down" show their mastery of popular song forms. By the time you get to disc three, with classic performances like "Mood Indigo," "Rockin' In Rhythm" and "Creole Rapsody," Ellington's music has taken on a mature air of melancholy, celebration and reflection that was to distinguish the band's performance for the next 50 years. (3-CDs Set)
