Many of the recordings Ellington made in the last 20 years of his career were recorded in major studios, but were done so at Ellington's expense, so he could retain ownership. Most were not released during Duke's lifetime, and have remained unavailable for years. The tracks on this disc come from some of those recording sessions. These took place in May & July, 1962 at Bell Sound Studios. They contain some tracks not recorded by Ellington anywhere else, and some are re-recordings of his very early hits. And every track is in stereo! It's pure Ellington with the Duke himself on piano, and the rest of his orchestra behind him. All the tracks were remastered in 24-bit, so the sound is crystal clear. The solos are fantastic, and again...they're all in stereo! There's nowhere else these tracks are available, so if you want them, this is the place. TRACK LISTING: 1. Taffy Twist 2. Flirtibird 3.
