Duke Ellington - Duke Ellington Presents - LP

180 Gram Black Vinyl, Mono

Recorded for Bethlehem in 1956, Duke Ellington Presents... is unusual in that it leans mainly on standards. Ellington and his key soloists work wonders on chestnuts like "Summertime," "Laura," "My Funny Valentine" and the bebop touchstone "I Can't Get Started," alongside a few choice originals — an accessible entry point for newcomers and an overlooked gem for longtime fans.
