O’s Notes: These dozen hits feature Duke with a number different ensembles. Most of the songs were composed at least in part by Ellington. The real highlights of this DVD are watching Duke conduct his band and enjoying the solos. Among the great players that appear are Clark Terry (t), Paul Gonsalves (sax), Barney Bigard (cl) and drummer Louis Bellson who shines on “The Hawk Talks”.
