This CD contains the first 23 recordings released under Duke Ellington's name. The initial ten selections, dating from November 1924 to June 1926, are quite intriguing because, with the exception of the very first date (resulting in 'Choo Choo' and 'Rainy Nights'), the primitive band does not sound like Ellington's. While the first date has cornetist Bubber Miley, trombonist Charlie Irvis (Tricky Sam Nanton's predecessor), and altoist Otto Hardwick as the front line, the following eight numbers have shifting personnel and, despite the occasional presence of trombonist Jimmy Harrison (who takes two vocals) and clarinetist Don Redman, the music is under-rehearsed and rough. But on 'East St. Louis Toodle-Oo' (the band's theme) and 'Birmingham Breakdown' from November 29, 1926, the Ellington sound was finally together and from then on the band's output was often classic. Other highlights of this historic disc are 'Hop Head' and the initial version of 'Black and Tan Fantasy,' with such soloists as Miley, Nanton, and Hardwick, and with Duke himself on piano.

Despite the rise of the Depression, Duke Ellington's orchestra was able to continue a hectic recording schedule, cutting the 23 selections on this CD (which are all master takes) within a four-and-a-half-month schedule. Some of the numbers are remakes or pop songs of the era (though those are usually excellent) and there are vocals by Irving Mills, Frank Marvin, and Dick Robertson that are not up to the level of Ellington's instrumentalists, but there are also such gems along the way as 'When You're Smiling' (featuring Freddy Jenkins' trumpet), 'Maori,' 'Sweet Jazz of Mine,' 'Jungle Nights in Harlem,' and particularly 'Shout 'Em Aunt Tillie.'

Although susceptible to some of the commercial pressures that other bands were feeling in 1930, which accounts for the inclusion of a few pop numbers and some added vocalists, in general the recordings of Duke Ellington were at the same high level in 1930 that they had been in 1929. There are many gems on this set, including 'Double Check Stomp,' a remake of 'Black and Tan Fantasy,' 'Old Man Blues,' and the two earliest recordings of 'Mood Indigo,' and even a throwaway such as 'That Lindy Hop' is still worth hearing. The Rhythm Boys (Bing Crosby, Al Rinker, and Harry Barris) guest on 'Three Little Words,' and star soloists throughout the program include Cootie Williams, Tricky Sam Nanton, Barney Bigard, and Johnny Hodges.

With the rise of the Depression, most big bands were being pressured to record more dance band-oriented pop music. Duke Ellington managed to keep his standards high despite occasional vocals from Sid Garry, Dick Robertson, Chick Bullock, and Frank Marvin. Along with some lightweight material, this chronological study of Ellington's work during a six-week period (which has all of the master takes but none of the alternates) is most significant for its early versions of 'Rockin' in Rhythm' and 'Mood Indigo,' a rollicking 'Twelfth Street Rag' (with Benny Payne on second piano with Duke), and Ellington's first extended work to be recorded, the moody 'Creole Rhapsody.'

Cut a few years before the Ellington band's golden run during the early '40s, this 24-track collection from 1936-1937 finds the group in top form. As is usual with any of Classics' chronological discs, the fare runs the gamut. In this case, the mix takes in novelties ('Love Is Like a Cigarette'), reprised classics ('East St. Louis Toodle-Oo'), and contemporary gems ('In a Jam'). And as a highlight, there are also several sides cut by clarinetist Barney Bigard and a small band made up of other Ellington sidemen ('Caravan,' 'Stompy Jones').
