  • Description

    WW ll is over in Europe, but not Japan, and DUKE ELLINGTON is on the road, still patriotically selling US war bonds via live radio shows. The music on this 2CD set is from the Paradise Theatre in Detroit and the Regal Theatre in Chicago (May 1945) and the Café Zanzibar (October 1945). The Café Zanzibar performances have never been released before now. The musical programme presented here is blended for both listening and dancing, and includes many Duke Ellington standards, plus several new or rarely performed tunes. Tasty solos come thick and fast from the Duke himself, as well as legendaryregulars such as REX STEWART, BUCK CLAYTON, SAM NANTON, CAT ANDERSON, JOHNNY HODGES and JOYA SHERRILL.
